Interviewing is my least favourite part of my job and transitioning is a very close second. It's really rough when you get a child who takes a few months to fit it. It's exhausting for us as the provider and for the other children in the daycare. I've been transitioning new new babies for months now and I look at the 3 older children at the end of the day and they are just wiped out like I am from listening to all the crying. I love it when a child comes in and is happy quickly but it doesn't happen very often.

I'm in month 4 with the new little boy and his parents are doing everything I suggest so that he has consistency at home and daycare. I won't terminate when the parents are trying hard because I'll just have to start over if I try a new family. But you have to go with what works for you.
