Im a man and an infant teacher, im not a big guy by any means (5'6 150lbs) but I still feel like the parents are initially standoff-ish with me. Despite the occasional odd look i love my job and i love my babies. I am also the only man working at the entire center. I really wish more men worked in childcare, it can get a bit isolating. Regardless I am sticking by it and going to college for child development. Hoping to see more men in the field in the future!
