George Kellogg Stephens

I'm convinced there is no better job than mine. I get to do something I love, and I get paid for it! God is good! Working with parents of babies or young children is more fun than I deserve. Seeing kids grow up and overcome problems, while watching parents get more adept at handling their little bundles of joy ... these are the true rewards of my calling. Helping a mom enjoy her baby, helping her realize that to love doesn't always mean to give in and helping parents understand that the baby came to live with the parents and not vice versa ... these are all a part of what I do. These tasks define the day-to-day life of parents, and I pray that I can be a coach and/or cheerleader in these times. I'm sometimes called mean, sometimes mistakenly perceived as sensitive and sometimes I bend or break a few rules of pediatrics, but my goal is to never be said not to care.
