Why did I choose to work in the Early Childhood field?

I chose to work in the field of Early Childhood because as a very young mother I didn’t know what to expect having a child of my own. Not knowing what to do or how to raise a child I wished I would have known programs like these were available. To me it was a big struggle not knowing what was next or if my child was on the right track. Now that I’m here helping families including young families it gives me the opportunity to share what I have learned throughout the years. As a home visitor not only do I bring what is best to my knowledge but also build relationships with our parents and children. The best part and why I love what I do is that it gives me the opportunity to not only work with children but to see both the child and the family grow together every day.
