The definition of professionalism will vary, depending on culture. The course suggests that a short-order-cook can't be 'professional,' but if that is what one does to make a living, it is one's profession. If the job is done well and the cook treats customers and co-workers with respect, it can indeed be a 'profession.'
However, I believe the expected answer is an expansion of the above. In child-care, the definition of professional is really complex. It includes genuine "caring" for the children and parents. It includes respectful interactions with co-workers, and the modeling of proper behavior for students. Frankly, it includes putting the children and co-workers before self in general importance.
