In the topic of Great Parents!!!!!!

She is a great parent, but kidlove, you are an awesome neighbour, friend and caregiver! I wouldn't offer to have any of my dckids over night much as I really like them a lot. I helped one family when the Mom had to work late when I was new and didn't charge them overtime but we are still friends even after they moved on to JK. They were in a predicament at the time and I didn't mind. Hopefully the good karma is what got my daycare running in the right direction that year!

You make a good point about bragging about our great parents though, we don't do that enough. I have usually had one family in the bunch who does little things to annoy, so that means 4 great families in care at all times. I've received lots of little presents like flowers and Timmies tea in the mornings and chocolates one time along with the overtime payment because a Mom had to work overtime, but the cards and notes and the THANKS are amazing. Knowing that you are appreciated and especially the parents who look at their child at the end of the day and ask them to thank me for taking care of them are wonderful too.
