Working with children, also known as tiny humans (grey's fans will understand), is not like any other job. They keep you on your toes at all times. Some days will be harder than others, but that's just how it goes. Some will test your patience and push your buttons, and some will know the right thing to say to make your day! However, not everyone is made to work with children; it definitely takes a special kind of person to work with children.
1. They come out with some of the funniest things
Whether it be a spelling mistake or a speaking mistake. They come out with some of the funniest things that will be sure to brighten your day!
2. They're brutally honest
One time, I had a child come up to me and ask if I was having a boy or girl... I was only 17 and I'm definitely not expecting a kid now, nor was I then!
3. They can tell when something's wrong, and they'll make you feel better
Kids can always tell how you're feeling even if you don't say anything. This is actually a huge part of the job. If you're happy and super excited, chances are they will be too. If you're angry about something they can sense the tension, which will only make your job harder. And if you're upset, they can sense that too, and they definitely give the best hugs!
4. You'll never be bored at work
I have no idea how, but kids are full of energy 24/7! You'll be lucky if you can gert them to sit still and watch a movie! with that being said...
5. It makes it more acceptable as to why you know every word to every Disney movie/song
I am totally not ashamed that I can recite the movie Frozen from start to finish and can sing the entire soundtrack — that along with the Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and The Beast, and probably the rest of the Disney collection!
6. You will build a great immune system
Chances are the first few weeks you start working with children, you will get sick. They come in with just about every illness. But on the bright side, after about a few months or a year, your immune system has never looked better!
7. You'll find out very quickly if you're a kid person or not — if you're not, don't worry the parents come back eventually! Haha
