Child Care....It's What's In The Cards!!

Yes yes I just coined a poker term (which is one of my favorite things to do) and I am darn proud of it. This past weekend my extended family was visiting and I realized something rather self affirming about myself. That self affirming epiphany that had struck me was that I am super awesome with little kids. My mom told me, my cousin told me, everyone told me! You know how people say after one hears the same thing over and over again from one or multiple persons they start to believe it is true? Well, I just had that! I am not only awesome with kids, but they happen to understand me and know where I am coming from and vice versa. Some parents do not understand what their child's mind has produced half the time, so it really is great when there is someone that gets them, and that would be me. I have the forthcoming ability to adapt to any personality over time and understand the mind of a child simply because I used to be one myself and know what it is like to be misunderstood. It is very unpredictable what the outcome will be, but with a little bit of patience, adaptation, and communication, anyone could do the deed. To a child care employer, I am who they are looking for. I had coined a poker phrase earlier for a reason and here is that reason. The reason is because all these years of playing poker I have gained patience and wisdom to pay attention to great detail. I pit the poker game against life itself and combine the two and it works out because patience, wisdom and understanding certain behaviors are what makes a great parent. Now I am not an expert or anything along those lines, mainly because I do not have any children myself, but I do know what make children tick and behave. To all those mothers, future mothers, and heck even grandmothers out there, take it from me, continue doing what you're doing but just up the ante on the patience end a bit! That's all I have for you, carry on!
