"I love babies" is not enough. We all love babies, but not everyone can do this job. It takes a special energy and a special heart.

You need to be creative and keep them involved with physical activities, educational projects, and encourage social harmony.
5 - Your job is the care and nurturing of children, not to be texting on your cell, or worrying about what a teacher from another classroom is doing. This has been a problem in the past, and will not be tolerated.
6 - Most importantly, you are a role model. Remember that your behavior, language and appearance will set an example for little ones.
