I liked how I could spend everyday having a blast with kids and giving the the best summer. I liked playing outside, doing art, going to the pool, and doing education activities.
What I wish was different
Looking back at it I still would not wish anything to be different. I enjoy working with children and the family in specific.
Advice
If you don't like kids this job isn't the one for you. Patience is key and you have to balance going with the flow and being constructive.
