What do (did) you do with kids?
I don't work with children anymore - worked in a daycare with infants and toddlers one summer while I was in college, and then worked as a nanny while living in Charlotte, and I've volunteered with kids along the way, but now I just do my boring ol' desk job - which is why I'm changing careers - though I don't know that I'll go into child therapy or anything.
Am still babysitting, though, right now for the son of the woman I replaced at work. She left to stay home with her baby. He's about a year and a half old and just sweet as can be. It does me good to get a baby-fix every now and again.
It is really hard visiting my munchkins and I sometimes wonder if it would be better for them if I didn't. They just get so sad when I leave, especially little man. Last time he wanted me to hold him and then when I absolutely had to leave, he wouldn't let go. When his mom pulled him (literally) away from me, he cried. That was very upsetting. :-(
At the same time, I just miss them so much...
