When she was telling me about others in the area who charge less and who don't charge for parents' days off, I wondered aloud how they managed to make a living like that. She then replied, "well I guess they're not doing daycare to make money".
Oh yes, where are all those saints who do daycare just for fun, not like those of us who are evil and want to earn money in a career we love... oh right, they are called Grandma LOL. I assume this teacher is not in it for the "money" but hands her paycheque back because she chose the teaching profession as a ministry to children?

And I am a grandma, so I'm not insulting Grandmas with my comment above. I would cheerfully welcome my grandchild 24/7, weekends, on overnights, take them on vacation etc. because she is my grandchild. I'm not offering 24/7, weekends, and sleepovers to my clients, as much as I think they are adorable.
