It's amazing to see what children are capable of doing. They are capable of doing more than we think.

Register NowI was always the babysitter for my family and extended family. I loved it and decided to make it my career. Just seeing how much children are capable is amazing. My 2 to 3 years children are so capable and everyday they amaze me.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceI would have to say a recent memory my birthday just passed on 2/17 and the first class I ever taught at my job decided to make me a birthday card. The childern are now 4 to 5 years old. The teacher asked them what they would like to say to me for my birthday and one child said "thank you for teaching me."
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use it to pay some credit cards I have and probably save some money too. I always use my own money to purchase things for my classroom so probably for that too. My children get so happy when I bring new books for us to read. Being a teacher doesn't pay much but the impact I make on my children makes it worth it.
