          I am 37 and have only been doing childcare for 1-1/2 years. I got into childcare after the birth of my 3rd child, my son. My 2nd daughter and son are only 14 mos apart and my son was a "surprise" pregnancy. I used to be a lab nurse 3 days/week but it made no sense to continue working if everything I made was going to be to pay for part-time childcare for 3 kids. I ALWAYS wanted to be home with my kids but dh didnt want me to give up the benefits I had at my previous job.

          I was always very appreciative of the daycare provider my girls went to, but am even more so now. I honestly dont know how she did it with 10 kiddos. She has been doing it 23 years. She did a great job with them. I have so much respect for her and for all childcare providers. I plan to do this at least until my son goes to kindergarten and then I will re-evaluate my situation. I initially said I would go back into nursing at that point, but I do love being home and will have to really think about it. Childcare is soooo challenging at times but is also so rewarding.

                              So far, I'm the the youngest....I'm 23. :: Some parents look at me like I'm crazy, but most are very respectful (even if they could be my parents!)

                              I graduated college at 21, taught kindergarten for 2 years, and then started this a few months ago!
