Personal Narrative: My Experience Of Working With Preschool Children

My favorite age to work with is preschool children. However, I can deal with kids up to about eight. After kids turn eight they just become awkward and annoying lifeforms that argue. Older kids morph into mini little teenagers and I just cannot unless I absolutely have to. I find it difficult to motivate older kids and even harder to find things that they don’t already know or hold their interest.
On the other hand, preschool kids are full of life. I adore there energy, fearlessness and compassion that they usually exhibit. I find it easier to redirect or discipline younger children. I appreciate their simple logic. My favorite part of working with preschool kids is how they are so inquisitive. I envy how they love and interact with other people. An added bonus is that little kids have an attention span to match mine. I enjoy creating activities for them on the fly. I love letting them create, role-playing with them, I’m not afraid or annoyed by how loud they can be. I am not afraid of mess making. I love giving them things that most people wouldn’t like glitter, paint, and scissors. My only exception is sand. I do not do sand at all for any reason absolutely no sand
In addition, I helped with my autistic brother and three younger sisters. I started babysitting when I was twelve and became a nanny for a family when I was fifteen. While I was a nanny, I watched four children age 4 months, 3 year, 5 years, and 10 years old. I was responsible for everything from morning nap to afterschool homework. I also assisted with housework and took the kids on outings. When I turned seventeen, I took an internship at my church for a year. As an intern, I worked with several classes every day. I have helped and coordinated childcare for conferences and camps for a variety of ages. Recently I have worked as a tuder and I am looking forward to a job as a nanny this
