Working in a daycare is easily one of the most stressful, chaotic and fulfilling jobs you can have all wrapped up in one. Everyday care is different — some being restricted to certain ages, some having only three regulars and some taking in 20 or 30 little ones every day. However, there are a few characters that pop up in everyday care, that any day care worker can see coming a mile away.

1. The toddler that screams from the second he gets dropped off to the second he gets picked up

2. The kid that wets her diaper as soon as you change her

3. The little boy that plays quietly in the corner by himself the entire time

4. The kid that will not share no matter what

5. The 8-year-old whose mom somehow found a way to sneak him into your 3-year-old-to-5-year-old’s only nursery

6. The baby that wants you to hold her the whole time, even though you have twelve other kids to watch

7. The little girl that will listen to you tell her no, smile at you, and do exactly what you just said not to

8. The kid that comes off sweet but is extremely hyper and ends up whipping through the room like a tornado

9. The super-cute little girl that you adore, but she just doesn’t reciprocate your love

10. And finally, the precious little kid that you look forward to seeing every week, that makes your job worth it

As loud, messy and hard to handle as some kids can be, everyday care worker loves all of the children they see on a regular basis or else we wouldn’t stick with our daycare kiddos. Who would change dirty diapers for a living if they didn’t love something about their job?
