Why are you passionate about newborn care?

Working with infants have been joyful to see how much a tiny human being can be capable of. I enjoy being able to experience how much a child can learn and grown in such a short amount of time and to also experience seeing how much joy the baby brings to a family. Children should always be loved and cared for.
