No, I never want to quit, but I do get burned out sometimes so I know I have to slow down and take care of myself and allow a few mornings in a row letting the children freeplay so I can recover and get my energy back. We all have parts of the job that drain us, for me it's interviewing which makes my days really long and transitioning new crying unhappy children. But once all of the children are happy and content I love my job every day.

There is a huge learning curve to this job and experimenting with routines until you figure out what works best for you is necessary. Try to prep food and crafts the night before but use your crockpot to save you lots of time and keep the crafts super simple. Playdo can be used over and over, washable markers are great - simple is best!
