And being grossly underpaid and generally unappreciated, and enjoy being called a 'just a babysitter' while you cherish, nurture and educate children, unless you have a teaching degree, which apparently means you ACTUALLY teach instead of just 'being a childcare worker' which seems to mean sitting around playing with them and tending to their needs and providing care and compassion and patience, which apparently teaches children absolutely nothing at all...
(I worked in childcare and am now in Kindergarten. I find it the most draining and rewarding job I can think of. Although I must say, I find the children probably the easiest aspect of the job to deal with, and the parents are one of the most challenging parts of the job)
I definitely recommend work experience or volunteering, because there is a lot to the job that you need to experience to know if you want to do this as a career.
