I've been watching children (and doing "odd jobs") my entire life off and on. When I was younger, I did it full time, now I work in an office setting (I'm looking to go back to full time child care because I love it so very much). I take care of friend's children regularly on weekends and nights since I don't have a full time child care position at this point. I have a high energy type of personality and feel that kids are drawn to me. I think caring for children is part of my natural instinct and decided to try to base my career on it.
