I have been an infant teacher in day care centers for 33 years. People think all we do is sit and hold the babies all day long. We have so much to do that I can't see many people doing our job. We have observation papers to do for every child twice sometimes three times a year. Classes that we are constantly taking, lesson plans. We don't interact with the babies as much as we would like anymore. Its hard work and we all feel burned out.

Watching children play and learn together at daycare is a heartwarming reminder of the beauty of innocence and curiosity. ❤

I miss babies! My kids are now 8 and 10 and I would love working with the little ones! I love holding and comforting them if they are upset. Playing with them is also so wonderful!

Cute! I cannot wait, I’ve just got myself at job in a daycare. I’m working with the 3-5 year olds as I’m 16. Then they’ll put me with the babies later on.. SO EXCITED!! I absolutely love children so this is like my dream job! I was screaming when I did my interview and they said “ OKAY WELCOME, YOU GOT THE JOB! “ ❤️😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤️

10 babies with only 2 teachers??? That's just neglect!!! There is no way 2 adults can cater to the needs of 10 babies at once!!

I am interested in working at a daycare, sadly all the childcare places in my town only pay $9-$10 an hour :( so doesn’t look like that will be happening

I wanted to be a daycare teacher too! Just for toddlers. I will teach them so many english lessons and take care of them! I hope I can do my best of taking care of the toddlers!

Just started in the infant room I love it

[jordinsfruitfulministries]

Lol I love babies so much. You have to really be patient and nurturing. Babies can sense when you're frustrated: which will make them cry more. This is not a job for the weak.

This was my dream job as a kid ♡ maybe I'll follow it 😊

[liveandletlive]

10 Babies for 2 teachers? That's an INSANE ratio. (Seriously, what state allows this lol?) I used to work in an infant room, and I commend anyone who keeps at it because it's hard work--especially when a single teacher is in charge of FIVE babies!!!

[miacatherine]

i love being in the infant room i definitely recommend this job

[jkphilosophy]

It's interesting how they pick up the food and put it in their mouth once it is placed in front of them

[pinkorangesoda]

10 babies? what state is this? In MD you can only have 6 babies with 2 teachers
