So, are you still babysitting?

[5 Little Monkeys]

If they were saying it to be rude or condescending, I would set them straight. Politely of course lol

If they mean nothing by it, I answer their question but make a point to say "yes, I'm still running my own daycare" and would share the difference if they were interested to hear.

I think our career is still looked at by a lot of people who don't "get it" and don't understand the importance of our roles in child development. Anytime I can help inform them of this, I do. I think we all should if we want to be looked at with respect and be taken seriously.

PS. Happy ECE week!!! ( I think it's the same week everywhere?)
