I never got nits and worked with kids for over 10 yrs. I did keep my hair up alot though mainly because I worked with special needs for alot of the time and some were a little violent now n then.
I have a great little essential oil recipe for prevention if anyone wants it. Used it myself and now use it on my 6yr old if I get 'that' letter home telling me there are nits at the school.

or nits - definately wear your hair up!
congrats SZC, good luck - I've helped out at play groups and at school, it is good fun, though I've not done it as a full time job.
try and be fair to all of them, even the ones you don't like - there will be ones you dislike, and of course you'll have your favourites, but just try and keep things as even as possible.
My back hurts 
It was alright, the kids were fine (they're funny) but the staff were a bit crap......they didn't let me know what was going on, when to take lunch, where to go for it, what I shouldn't do etc...... 
My mate who works at a different branch (which is closer to me) says that her place is a lot more relaxed, she too felt uncomfortable at where I worked today.
By 6pm I said 'Look, I have to go' (how long were they planning to keep me there
) and I had to ask around to find out what was gonna happen next ! I was told I'd be contacted soon..
Anyway, I'm hoping to go work at the other place which is closer and sounds better.

- got too excited at being (not very) amusing and meant to finish by saying that's brilliant and congratulations!trashpony said:
I know!
The highlight of today was letting two 2 yr olds and a 3 yr old brush/accessorise my hair.....I had about 7 pastel plastic hairclips dangling from my hair, backcombed sections and a hair elastic placed on the top of my head
Kept them quiet though...

Hair. All small children love it! Glad to hear they're letting the kids touch you. One of my friends worked with little kids a while ago and was told that she was not allowed any physical contact with the kids whatsoever - very sad IMO
BTW, I reckon all new jobs are a bit vile and unwelcoming the first day - hope you're not taking it personally SZC

congratulations SZC, really cool news!
I haven't done much with kids, but I do some teaching and I think it's really important to come over as being very outgoing and positive most of the time, as I think kids really pick up on enthusiasm.
(Winterinmoscow goes to brew strong coffee to make an effort to appear lively later!)

My head was itching all last night
Might just be my dodgy scalp problem flaring up though...

Oh don't worry I do. I know this sounds like a dickheadish thing to say but I reckon my way of talking to them normally and explaining why you shouldn't do this/what happens etc and only raising my voice when they are really misbehaving is better than shouting at them most and being a bit sarky (which is what I saw a lot of yesterday - not saying that the staff are shit btw).....

And let us know how it's going - I think you might end up with some good stories
Thanks.
It's gonna be a bit hard going back to work after so long but once I get into the routine I'll be ok. I'm gonna ask to work in the branch closer to my house, with my mate Emily (where it is apparently much more relaxed
)Little kids can say the funniest stuff, I sure will be posting it up

Now, how are you going to celebrate?
Without a smoke it seems now that we have a no smoking policy in the house
Dunno, haven't thought of that...
