There are a lot of things about this that seem "off" to me.... she starts off by giving the ages and genders of all of her DCK's, then says that she "tried working" but didn't like it....then she goes on to describe a typical day:
At first glance, especially from a parent perspective, there's nothing overtly wrong here. However, if you really take the time to read in detail...
A little about how our days go around here:
-I serve breakfast (if your child is dropped off before 8:30am) which is usually something simple like cereal, poptarts, yogurt, fruit etc. Sometimes I feel fancy and fix a whole big breakfast but that all depends on how the morning has progressed thus far.
-I do have the tv on in the morning but it isn't on the whole time or for the whole day. Usually it's the Disney channel (because there is only so much of Nick Jr I can take). There are multiple times when I will play a children's movie which is usually on Fridays or if I have nothing else planned for that day. The girl and I usually enjoy this time together.
-There are multiple times when I get on the floor and play with them. We just received lots of fun gifts from Santa (like Legos and our new play kitchen) that the kids just love, well I really like the Legos but who doesn't! They were a staple in my childhood!
-Sometime during the morning, I serve a small snack which usually consists of animal crackers, fruit, yogurt, muffins, etc. Then anywhere from 11:30-12:30 lunch is served. This is a standard pb&j sandwich, noodles, hot dogs, mac and cheese, fries, etc. I also try to serve fruit or veggies with every meal at lunchtime. Of course this does not mean your child will like my veggie/fruit selection.
-After lunch, the children pick up their toys and go to sleep on their mats with their stuffed toys (if they bring one) and their blanket. Naps usually last a couple hours.
-After nap it's usually another small snack then either coloring, learning activities (we are currently learning our ABCs and counting to 20) or just some more good ol' fashioned playing. I generally do the learning thing every other day because I don't want to burn the kids out and we do not color everyday because that gets boring real fast.
A Little About My Background:
After my mother had a bad experience with a sitter so she decided to start up her own daycare in her home when I was a year old. My mother finally decided to go back out into the real world when me and my brother were in our late teens. During the summer and when I got done with my homework, I would help my mom with the children. I loved the summer months because there would always be lots to do. From a young age I was taught to change diapers, feed babies, learned the correct way to hold and burp a baby, and much more. I really enjoyed being able to work and play with the children. My mother showed me that it's never too early to teach the kids to talk, read, write, etc.
I am currently not accepting any child under the age of 1 yr old. I feel that I may be stretched too thin and want to be able to provide for the children equally. With that said, I would absolutely love to be given the chance to care for your precious child.
