    I myself never ever thought I would or could do daycare not in a million years!

    I walked out of a job I hated that took me away from my DD for 1.5 years. I worked 50-60 hours a week and never looked back.

    It was my DD's daycare provider who encouraged me to do it. Being a libra I never just jump into any decision but I made a space, contract and put up an ad and started my journey.

    I used to be that daycare Mom who made all her babies food and just had a hard time trusting. I think wearing that hat gave me a great advantage in understanding my parents fears.

    This business has really showed the perfectionist in me it's ok to make a mess and it's ok to eat a sugary treat once and a while, life still goes on.

    I have learned I love being my own boss and that I am truly making a difference even if the rest of the world just sees me as a babysitter.

    I have tried to be the perfect provider that tries to impress everyone but burn out came and I had to realize its ok if we don't do craft everyday. I was so burnt out and I had to learn a balance as at the end of the day my family and me will always come 1st.

    Yes my DD needs to be 2nd sometimes but she is always 1st after my daycare day ends. Some days I even need to shut the door to spend time with her and do clean up duty at 11pm but she is worth it!

    I love my daycare kids but I can separate from work and family time. I still talk about my day as its part of who I am and I proud of my job!
