Pros
I love the genuine love children share with us, the way they ask you to stay with them, the genuine happiness and light that you see when they welcome you to the shift, beautiful way of expressing how much they adore you. Every day I put smile on their face I feel so proud of myself. Our children are so caring, loving and kind. I love the way center nurtures Christian values in children. It's a rewarding job , I feel I am making a big difference in the lives of children with disability and epilepsy. I feel my positive impact on their behavior change into better. If you want to make a difference, if you are looking for a life purpose to make the world a better place this is your place. I am blessed to work with lovely people here that make my day every day.
Cons
There are few nasty staff who ruin your joy at work. The management is slow to deal with conflicts in between staff. It's very hectic sometimes, no time to breathe running from supporting children at home and being sent to school as LSA, coming back lunch time support kids at home and run back to school again, do paperwork at the end of this buzz. I wish the center did truly care about their staff and reduce this pressure.
There is barely any support if you experience assault from children sometimes. There is lack of staffing on the shifts and you might have to work under pressure most of the time.
