Wow! In my opinion this is not just a "job". I think that's why we all feel "under-aknowledged" when we are referred to as "babysitter" (that's a job) a babysitter does the job because they can "handle" a kid and they do it because at the end of the night...they get paid for it! Quick money! WE are Day Care Provider's, it is more than a job, it is a profession, I consider it a "trade" we do it because we enjoy it. It is a career not a job. It takes training and time to master. I take my position in my Day Care just as serious as my position in my Family. I am a Mother and a Wife and a Day Care provider alike, that is my career. I do it because I LOVE IT! I can't imagine anything else...I feel this is what I was meant to do and honestly feel blessed to have found this position in life. That being said....I am also human, I have weak points just as the high ones and am very greatful to have such a group of women to hear what I have to say, good, bad and ugly. I am not proud of myself at times for the things I may say or do in life but just like a "true friend" I FEEL like at the end of the day, I am in "common" company here. We all have our moments and needs to be heard, the highs the lows. BUT the one thing I know is: We all enjoy what we do!!!!! Although I have not yet had the opportunity to meet a woman who did this "trade", who didn't seem to love kids and do it for the right reasons...I know they are out there and all I have to say is...what a shame! If you don't enjoy it....don't do it. This is WAY TOO BIG of a role to take lightly, we are raising the next generations. That's Big!!!!!
