Perfectly normal! Don't feel bad, its just a fact of life that there will be people we don't click with whether it be children or adults. Doesn't make us any less of a person or a provider. In fact, I think it makes us better people to be able to recognize that we are missing a bond with a particular little one and work harder to try to find a way to establish a connection with them.
I've had a little one that I used to just love, now she's like nails on a chalkboard to me. She's the only one that I count down the minutes until she's picked up. It happens. I still treat her the same as every other child, just sometimes I have to remind myself that she still needs hugs and snuggles too even when she's driven me up the wall all day lol
I have also had parents that I can't stand. Totally pulled a complete 360 from what they were like in the interview when they started care, but I put up with it because they had an absolute doll for a child, made it worth it. I would never believe anyone who says there have never met a child they didn't 'like'
