Kate Middletoncan’t help but be in mom mode!
The royal was on the receiving end of a job offer after visiting the Ely and Careau Children’s Centre in Wales on Wednesday. After helping a young girl clean her hand, which was covered in sand, the organization’s manager Carolyn Asante told Kate, “You’ve got the job — when can you start?”
Asante told reporters that Kate wasn’t opposed: “I said, ‘You’ve got the job,’ and she said, ‘I wish!’ ”
“It’s lovely to have someone who understands children and child development,” she said. “She really made the parents and children feel at ease which was lovely.”
She added, “Our children quickly gauge people who are genuinely interested in them, and if they’re not, they just won’t bother with them.”

She crouched down to play with the babies and checked out an outdoor hut.
“I see amazing work you’re doing here in so many areas,” she told workers at the center. “It’s just bringing it to light. The critical work you’re doing has a massive social — and economic — impact later down the years.”
Kate also opened up about how helpful a similar center would have been when she was a new mother toPrince George.
