It takes a lot of patience and nurturing to be a daycare provider. It is NOT an easy job! Especially for those of us who are dedicated to our businesses and the children. We work so hard and such long hours and when you have a screamer in the bunch it is so very exhausting.

I have 4 children in one room sleeping and a little boy who wakes up and screams and is loud so I have to separate him in another room. I have mentioned this to his Dad because it makes me sad that this one little boy has to be separated from all his friends due to his behaviour but I'm protecting the naptime for the others. So hopefully the parents will try to shush him at home when he is loud after nap or in the morning. Otherwise, I have to keep him separated.

Make sure you pamper yourself a little every evening and keep reaching out to us for support because you don't want to reach that state of exhaustion. We all understand what you are going through.
