★★★★★The book is solid and doesn't sugarcoat things. I appreciated that Chapter 1 wasn't fluff - it honestly describes the constant lifting, bending, and cleaning that comes with the job. I docked a star because I wish the salary section had more specifics on benefits and PTO, since that's a big factor for me. But it definitely gave me a realistic picture of a day in childcare, and it confirmed I need more patience than I thought before I commit.
