I teach kiddos ages 12 mos.-36 mos. (1 year-3 years). My job duties include changing diapers, wiping snotty noses, doing dishes, sweeping floors, and general cleaning up. I am technically a "classroom assistant" right now, which means that I do the things that enable the head teachers to spend time in small groups with the kiddos. However, sometimes I get to do awesome things like lead circle time and do art projects. I love those opportunities. I also get to supervise recess twice a day, and do things like teach kids to play soccer, tag, and ring-around-the-rosey. What makes this job awesome is how it makes you feel like a rock star; when I show up for work, I am greeted by a chorus of, "SNOWY! SNOWY! SNOWY!" chanted by eight adoring 2-year-olds who think I'm the greatest thing since sliced bread because I give them hugs and read books to them. And yeah, did I mention I get huggled and snuggled by cute kids all day long? It's pretty great!
