I love my job.....today.

Just to clarify - I searched long and hard for the right daycare provider and by no means does she "put on a show." She genuinely loves her job and I know this for a fact. I am no fool. I am also a strong believer that positive energy breeds positive events and maybe that's why some of the most positive (and IMO best) childcare providers have some of the "best" parents!

Yes, I do believe parents (I have been on both sides...had my kids in daycare before and now have my own daycare) can tell if we actually like our jobs...it shows in the dedication and hard work and positive energy we put into everything we do. And you can see it in the kids who are thriving That doesn't mean we don't have bad moments or bad days sometimes as anyone does (parents included) and I let my daycare parents know about these sometimes as I think it helps them understand the reality of running a daycare and that while some moments positively stink (sometimes literally LOL), we can still love our jobs It sounds like you have a great daycare provider and I am so happy you came here to post about her! We hear way too many unhappy parent stories and I think it was very brave and positive of you to post your good news story. I do not think that your positive provider who loves her job is dangerous because she is too happy or putting on a show!
