If this is a regular job, on average, how many hours do you work each week?
I work 20-25 hours a week, typically during weekends and nights.
If this is an occasional job, how many hours do you estimate you have spent doing this activity?
In a year, I probably spend half of that year watching children.

Do you enjoy the work that you have done so far? Why or why not?
I really do enjoy the work I have been doing so far. I love working with kids and exploring their
minds while letting them teach me new things as well. I always leave with something new to
know and the child with more knowledge.

What kinds of soft skills, academic skills, and/or specialized training have you needed to use in
your work?
I think patience is a HUGE skill you MUST have if you are working with kids and I also think
responsibility is a very needed skill to have when working with kids.

What have learned about yourself so far by doing this kind of work?

I have learned that helping others learn more makes me feel good about myself.
