Three per cent of Britain's nannies are male: A campaign to increase their number
A growing number of British men would like to work as nannies and childminders but fear they would be branded as paedophiles, according to a new study.

From Head Start to Therapist
What factors or career paths lead you to work with infants/toddlers? I was looking for a way to get involved in social service.

The next year they added 3-year-olds, and I was totally hooked. After almost 2 years, I was at work one day when a psychologist who had done some staff development for us called me and asked, "How would you like to play with kids all day and get paid for it?" The rest is history.
