What Do Your Daycare Kids Call You?

[GrannyJ]

Cat, I felt the same way you did when I was 40. Back then I would have never thought I would still be doing daycare at 60. But I love the kids!!!

Thank you ladies for all of the responses! I'm beginning to think it's just the age group that I have then. I do refer to myself as Ms. Chesney when talking to them though, hopefully they'll catch on, it just stings a little when they call me Mom.

When I had littles they called me mom or mommy. Now that I take only 2 and up they call me Katie or Ms. Katie.

It's just because they are young. They think that is just the name of any woman who cares for them- they also tend to call all men daddy or dada.

I haven't started my daycare yet but I plan on either being called Miss/Ms/Mrs Star or Auntie Star; depending on what the family is comfortable with- the new kid I am going to be watching the mom wants him to call me 'Auntie Star'. But when I start my daycare I also plan to have a preschool program so once they get to preschool age I might try to encorage them to address me more as 'Miss/Ms/Mrs Star' because I want to prepare them for school and most kindergaden teachers don't go by 'Auntie (first name)' or just their first name.

They call me by my first name. Some of the parents refer to me as Miss (first name).
