Hey ladies
I used to have a group that all slept for 2 hrs and oh how I miss them for that reason
I've got a group now that don't all sleep for 2 hrs...I've got one little one who gets up after one hour every day....some 1.25 and so on.
I always get that little one out of the playroom where every one else is sleeping and my brake is no more as this one is constant!

Do you all just take your one hour break or do you have them lay down for some quiet time for longer?

The one thing I have learned and know for sure about this business, is that you can burn out quick! I've met a lot of providers that are tired, worn out and don't have the energy for their own family. I don't want to become that person. I want to continue doing this long term.
I've learned to run my business just as that, a business. I do sit down with the kids and not always doing something for example if we are playing outside but, my senses are always on and watching so it's not really a break. Our days are long and I've shorted my hours from when I first started from 7am until 6pm to 7am to 5pm but it's a long day when your in the house and not driving from one place to another. As providers we need to get out of the house for not only the kids but, ourselves! Then my break is running around cleaning, laundry and getting dinner on the stove top etc so I can have family time at the end of the day.

Is it selfish of me to make the little one have some resting quiet time for longer...not another hour but 1/2 hr for myself? It can be either a 9 or 10 hr day. Do I need to just suck it up
