Who do you take care of? Who would you prefer to be with? Some people have their grandparents at home. Others have babies, tots or kids.
If you were to work with them, who would it be? Would you like to be in a nursery or day care? Or the home for the aged?

I have taken care of old people and very young people and old people tend to be stubborn and kids are stubborn too but old people have their own mind and even scold you LOL while you can scold the kids.
Hmmm, I think I like caring for both depending on who is it though LOL. My experience was I helped take care of my grandfather because he was nice but I refused to take care of a grandma because she was not nice. Then, my nephews and nieces I helped taking care of them because they were nice but I did not agreed to taking care of another nephew because he was so not fun to be with. LOL

Hi ragenepalma,I prefer to be with kids.I admire and respect to old people but I think more difficult to care them.There is my grandma now at my sister's home.she was 90 years old and senile.If,I may choose,I prefer to take care baby or kids.I have kid,he was 1,9 years old and I'm teacher in early age educating program.That's not mean,take care them more easier.take care Both of them is need big patience.But I think,many way to persuade kids then persuade old people.And I think we have to guard they feel.I worry if I touch they feel or wrong in speak.

i honestly like taking care of both...my father used to manage an old folks home and we used to go in and talk to the older people...and i just loved listening to the stories of the olden days. but i also like taking care of kids. theyre fun to play with and theyre so cute when theyre little. so i like both.

I have experience taking care of both and I enjoy them both. If I had to choose, I probably enjoy taking care of children a little bit more, but I truly enjoy them both. I have two kids who are so much fun to take care of and spend time with. I also spend time with children at work. However, I used to work with the elderly and I really liked that too. Ideally, I would like to regularly work with both!
