[quote=Anonymous]I took a casual on-call position with a local daycare and was horrified and disgusted. It's not because there was anything wrong per-se with the daycare, it's just that it was incredibly overwhelming and flat out gross. Caring for one infant was fine in a private setting. But I felt totally overwhelmed by the amount of diaper changes, snotty noses, children coughing in my face, sticking fingers in their mouth, sucking on toys, drooling, spit bubbles, trying to sit on my lap, crawl all over me, etc.

I don't know how daycare workers do it. I've actually enjoyed private one on one infant care but being in charge of 8 tiny humans totally wore me out. The smell of poopy diapers in the bathroom was enough to make me gag. Since I was the new girl I had to sweep all the countertops, clean toilets, empty garbages, and clean up after lunch/snack.

I don't think I can go back. I'm not even sure I can continue in childcare. Have any other nannies or childcare workers felt the same way?[/quote]
