Kids can be a handful. Whether they're your kids, your friend's kids, a stranger's kids they can get on your nerve and push your buttons. Try working in a daycare, and you know the struggles of handling kids of any age, and multiple at a time. Here are some pros and cons of working with kids

Pros

You have the experience for the future

Kids are not for everyone, but if you plan on having them working in a daycare is a great experience for the future of being a parent. It can help you understand the struggles of having kids and juggling other things a lot with it.

The things you will learn

Working in a daycare means you have to be certified in many things including CPR, first aid, and you have to be able to handle emergency situations at any cost. While it might be a lot on your shoulders it's great preparation for any emergency situation.

You create a bond

Kids are something special, and if you get the chance to sit down and have a talk with a 3 or 4-year-old, do it. The little minds have such imagination and creativity and their abilities can blow your mind.

Cons

Kids can give you a headache

From experience of working in a daycare, a long day spent with any age can cause some aggravation. The screaming, crying, and tugging on you can be a pain even if they're adorable.

The parents

Some parents are very particular with their child and that's ok, it's their child. But when the parents can get mad or annoyed at a worker for their own child not eating it can get a little frustrating. Parents can be so demanding and can even be very mad at you for doing your best.

The cleaning

If you're working with kids under the potty training age, good luck. Changing a family members diaper can be gross but imagine a complete stranger. Not only diapers but any spillage, strange food, or the worst( throw up) can make your stomach turn.

While working with kids is a great experience, always remember the good and bad that come with it. If there is one thing you take from working with any age it's their imagination and their youth. They won't be little forever and to you it might feel like yesterday when you were in the same position they are.
