Parents That Show Up Early

[caregiver]

I have had parents drop off early, but only about 3-5 minutes early, which to me is no big deal. I am up and ready to go.
My question to you that only get up about 10-15 minutes before your kids come, how do you do it? Myself, I get up at around 5:30 for kids to come at 7:30am. I need the time to fully wake up, take a shower, fix my hair so I look somewhat put together and have my first cup of coffee before the kids start coming. I would not be able to just get up 15 minutes before they came and function. More power to you ladies that can do that!

Im just one of those people that sit up and ready to go . I shower and do my hair the night before, so when my alarm goes off, I get dressed and brush my hair and turn the coffee on. Then since the lil girls go back to sleep for an hour or so, I drink my coffee and relax. then I get breakfast together. But I also go to bed around 9 or 930 because of my own kids

My door stays locked until the time i expect a parent, no matter time of day. Doesn't get opened til their scheduled time. No excuses. I don't have to have excuses for my time or interruption to our day. simple.

My first kid is technically scheduled for 7:00, but has ALWAYS come about 7:05. My alarm goes off at 6:50!! I potty, brush my teeth, run a brush through my hair (I shower the night before), throw on some clothes, and most of the time still have time to start my Keurig. That's about when the doorbell rings.

I'm a night owl, and I'm usually not asleep until about 11:30 or 12. I've tried going to bed earlier, but my brain just isn't wired that way I guess. As long as my current pattern works for me, I'm ok with it.
