what do you do for a living?

FSUNole31

I teach 6th grade intensive reading.  This is my first year back in the classroom full time after a two year break being a stay at home mom.  

LLo3

@FSUNole31 I taught special education for several years, I keep thinking how this baby would be great timing school year wise if I was still in a classroom.

I work as a behavior analyst in a clinic with kiddos mostly on the Autism Spectrum. I recently made the switch from a public school and I am loving it!

momma2char

I'm a surgical nurse! I work 12 hour night shifts from 7pm-7am and nap when my daughter naps- it's exhausting but so worth it to see her everyday

bornmommy

Loads of teachers here!  I had my first two in April and May and it's an awesome time to have a baby school year raise. @LLo3 and @heath313 I was a special educator before resigning after having my second.  

Now I own my own childbirth education and birth doula business.  I love my job. It's an amazing thing to love what you do! 

Ashley.G

I was an instructor therapist to individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. When we starting planning for our family, I decided to switch out of working with children as I know my field has a high burn out rate and didn't think it would be fair to any of the children (my future bean included) if I was not always on top of my game. I am currently an office manager but might soon be promoted to property manager (although I'm skeptical to take on a role with more responsibility and stress)

ADJ

Wow - so many teachers! I was a high school English teacher for 7 years and just "resigned" this year to stay home with our two kids - DS is 4 and DD is 2. Everyone told me I would have more kids once I stopped working and then bam! BFP in September right at the beginning of the school year!

Hi! Love reading what everyone does! 

I work part time (2 days per week)  as a pediatric occupational therapist working mostly with children on the autism spectrum and sensory processing challenges at an ABA clinic. I'm the only ped OT there in a world of BCBA's. It's extremely busy but loads of fun. 
@LLo3 and @Mother0fDragons we have some work place similarities! 

The other 3 days a week I'm home with my (almost) 18 month old! It's an awesome balance...I think...☺️

@devow27 I'm almost scared to ask what your husband does because I definitely did a double take reading your post. I thought it was mine and the avatar confused me.

I'm a volunteer services coordinator/program director for a Senior Corps volunteer program. I've only been here a few months. I've bounced around a few non-profit admin jobs over the last few years.

I love all the teachers, especially the special educators here! I am volunteering with a theater program for adults and kids with special needs right now and loving it. I'm actually thinking of going into elementary special ed. If I start the program I'm looking at soon, I could be on track to apply for jobs this spring or next.
