I love to see the joy that the children have. When children see you for a second time or after, they get excited to see a familiar face. Most of the children I have cared for over the years have immediately had something to show me when I walked through the door. I love seeing what makes the children happy and what amazing piece of art they have created.

Their minds are so innocent and mold-able. They do not have the same judgments in their heads or other negative ideas about people because they are too young to know better and I love seeing when they learn something new and truly understand it. This is my favorite part about being a teacher at GDS and when I was at my high school because the kids are so smart and it\\\'s just you being able to share your knowledge in a way for them to understand. They can also be so sweet and they\\\'re adorable!

My favorite things about working with children is the responsibility and influence I have while I am around them. I know that they are in their critical years of learning, and they are constantly morphing into the adults they will eventually become. With this knowledge, I try to be a good role model to the best of my ability, because they may just catch on and want to do similar things.

I enjoy seeing them progress from shy at the beginning of our relationship, to comfortable and being able to see their personality. Kids are hilarious, and just fun to be around. I love being able to have work with them
