10. She knows how to make everybody feel important.
What separates someone who's okay with kids from someone who is great with kids? Their ability to make everyone feel important. She's used to going out of her way to make connections with shy kiddos and she has a heart of gold. Who wouldn't want to date a girl like that?
11. She's tough - because dealing with kids all day isn't easy.
You've gotta have thick skin to be able to handle six-year-olds all day. Sometimes they'll tell you they hate you and kids can be mean. She's gonna have some thick skin and she'll be able to put up with a lot more crap because she's just used to it.
