Childcare Personal Statement

My choice to become a part of the childcare profession was not just made casually. This decision was the result of a thought process about what I wanted to do with my life. I finally took a career in childcare because I believe that it is one of the most important duties performed in the community. Within this profession, I hope to find both personal and professional accomplishment. Hence, it is my desire to be a part of a noble profession.
I love to work with kids in the age group of 5 and under, as they are so innocent and curious. They interact with you and follow you as if you were one of the smartest person in the world. I believe that at this age children need a positive and enjoyable influence in their lives. I want to be that person
