Do you see yourself doing this forever? Just while your own kids finish up school? Not past next week? 
Just curious how long all of you think child care will last for you?
I went into this 32 years ago, thinking I'd find something else when my kids all went onto high school. My youngest is now entering her jr. year of college and I see no signs of stopping. Thinking about finding another job at this point in my life feels ridiculous to me. I'm 60 and have no marketable skills, plus jobs aren't exactly plentiful around here. To find a job, even if it were to work for a center, etc., requires all kinds of credentials now. 32 years experience means squat.
