The best part of this job and why you couldn’t image doing anything else!?

Oh, that's the best Serendipity! We've had days here when I've scrapped all the planned activities in favour of baking together. I did that one day last Spring. The kids were older so we made pineapple upsidedown cake, baked custard and bread pudding....just cooked and ate all day. It was fantastic! The kids had a blast!

I love being my own boss and growing my business and my knowledge and constantly learning and figuring out better ways to do things, new things to do with the kids, better ways to teach them...etc. I love the pride I feel in my daycare and the happy families and kids I care for. I of course, love being home for my kids and not missing anything in their little lives. I also love that having five other kids here for them gives them the benefit of learning to get along in a group as if they had five brothers and sisters...and I get to send them home at the end of the day and don't actually have to give birth to five more brothers and sisters LOL. And, I can't believe nobody has mentioned this...NAPTIME! I love sitting in my own home and reading a book or reading this forum during naptime...it is divine and cannot nearly compare to a lunch hour at any other job And last, but not least, I no longer feel that Sunday evening queasiness that used to come as I thought about having to rush out the door on Monday morning to take kids to daycare, get to work on time, etc. I no longer dread Mondays...OMG...I just realized this as I typed it...I think I am truly in love with this job!!!
