    Bye !!! Very happy for you !!!! This job does take so much out of a person !! In so many different ways !! It is one of those jobs that does not end at 5 pm !
    Planning meals , crafts and sometimes chasing pay cheques ! Not to say balancing dcks and dcps !!! And the never ending turn over !! I have only been at it 10 months and feel like a worn out veteran !!
    Enjoy your time off !! And your pregnancy !!

    Thanks for all your valuable input to this online community of daycare providers. I commend you for your honest post. To be an amazing provider, more than just the necessities, it quite often comes at a personal cost. I hear you on so many levels. Losing yourself as an individual outside of the role as caregiver, lack of adult social interaction and the negative impact these things can have on ones family are all what I'm experiencing too after nearly 9 years. The hard work that's involved in being self employed and running this business is hard for sure but rewarding and the lessons learned are invaluable. Good Luck in all your future ventures, your pregnancy and your family time. Be well

    Gravy train I wish you the best in your new path. I have to say that I'm the anomaly here and quite enjoy providing daycare (most days!?) but that may be because I opened my daycare when my sons were almost out of the house and I had less responsibilities.

    I'm sure that you and your family and you will truly enjoy this special time together!

    Thank you, daycaremom9! I'm really looking forward to finding myself again, socializing and being with my family exclusively.
