[quote=Anonymous]I'm a professional daycare teacher with an early childhood education undergrad and masters, and I'm currently working in a daycare centre in Poland.  I have been an au-pair, nanny, and daycare teacher for the last 15 years, and have progressed steadily toward more and more responsibility.

Next year, I'll be moving to DC on a G5 visa for two years, but I'd like to look into applying for a work visa down the line. If I'm successful, should I be trying for a nanny or daycare job?

My impression right now is that being a daycare teacher would suit me better, but friends have said that nannies in DC can make more and have better schedules and richer experiences with the kids.  Right now I'm responsible for 20 2-3 year olds, although I have experience with all age groups. I really enjoy designing activities, so that aspect of working in a daycare center appeals to me, as do the resources to acquire materials, toys, organize field trips, etc. But if the right family came along, I could also see that turning out to be great.

Any thoughts, tips, hints, would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
