I went over to the church at 9 am today and was pleasantly surprised to see a big, open lobby with a ‘cafe’ area (wow) and then the area I was lead to-I never expected to see such a dedicated space for the children! There were rooms for infants to 4-5 year olds (all labeled). They had a number of ladies there and I ended up with the 3 yr olds-6 boys and 1 girl! This is their 4th week and the kiddos still need to learn to settle down and step away from the toys-plenty of those! I was more of a helper today. I’m not sure if she just needs me for an assistant or a teacher. I do think they need 3 adults for at least 10 each of the 2-3 years. We had a few crying boys when their moms left. The teacher today didn’t say that the one fella’s mom was right in the church. I told him and he seemed better and started to play. I have a background check and a child abuse form (standard) to fill out. I bought a money order for the one, but missed where they said they would pay for both of them. I guess they will reimburse me. It’s only 9-11:30 once a week. I figure I can still do eBay, etc. which I haven’t gotten into yet. So I know they won’t have the Bible study if the weather is bad or bring the kids in sick (crossing fingers). It’s nice to see a church with such a lovely area for children. Yay!

Glad to hear that your first time there went so well, you do seem to have a way with kids:-) Hopefully once you’ve settled into that job, they’ll make it 2 or 3 times a week instead of just once a week. Raining here today so there goes my plans on going to find a couple of caches this afternoon! lol xoxo
