Could this be the happiest job in the world? One woman's job is to care for panda babies at the China Conservation and Research Centre for the Giant Panda.

Staff members said panda nannies earn about $32,000 a year.

One of the big perks is spending 365 days with the pandas and sharing in their daily joys.
