I Love my Job Because...

[craftymissbeth]

I love becoming besties with my dck's. Most days I just sit here and smile at the weirdo/wonderful things their little selves do all day. I only have one child (and he will likely be my only) and I love that I can love on these wonderful humans all day long, send them home at the end of the day, and get paid on top of it

[LadyK8]

Rub it in.

I love my job because when the light bulb goes on in their little heads, I am tickled.

This, this, this!

I also love my job because I get to be my own boss and stay in my comfort zone (except on weekends) called "home."

[midaycare]

I love having my own business! And the hugs.

[kendallina]

Because I love to hear their laughter!
Because I love to make discoveries with them!
Because I get to be home all day.
Because I am my own boss with my own rules.

[Controlled Chaos]

I get to be home with my 3 little ones (3 under 5)

I get play with toys, sing songs and get messy

I truly feel like I am making a difference, helping the little ones learn and grow to be the best little people they can be and helping the parents create the healthiest family they can

[originalkat]

I love that I created all of this myself (and dh's handiwork). I took the classes, bought the materials, found the kids, create the curriculum, do all the paperwork, etc. I did all of this, and am proud of it (as all of you should feel proud too). I run a tight ship, and teach what I think is important (both academic and social). I also love the no commute and being home (I've become a home-body but kind of like it). Good thread

Nice. Me too!

[Play Care]

I also love my job because I get to be my own boss and stay in my comfort zone (except on weekends) called "home."

I love that I'm in charge of my day (well, mostly!:: ) i also love planning curriculum and working with the kids

But on a personal note I feel that this career has been so very beneficial for my family.
NO money spent on child care when my kids were young, or now that they are young SA.
Fewer fast food meals (a hazard for many working families) because I usually have a few minutes in my day to put a healthy meal together.
NO sick day scramble when my kids are sick. They stay home in their bed. DH gets "paid out" for unused sick time when he retires, so he's been able to bank a good amount (to the point he's sold some of his days back)
Same goes for all the holidays, vacations, snow days, etc etc etc
My job IS the kids. I don't know that I'd have done half the art projects, field trips, etc had I had another job or even been a SAHM (we wouldn't have been able to afford it in the latter case!)
I love that I am mostly able to work housekeeping into my daily schedule so evenings and weekends are family time.

[Blackcat31]

Because it doesn't feel like a job.

Because I get to be my own boss.

Because I earn a pretty nice income

Because I don't work nights, weekends or holidays (or any days I don't want to for that matter)

Because my co-workers are adorable and funnier than any adult I've ever met.

Because I love office and school supplies

Because I love office and school supplies

OMG, YES! Just yesterday I was in Target sniffing the new notebooks.

So what I'm not allowed back, it was worth it!

Why I love my job:

1. Cheering for all of the "firsts"-crawling, standing, walking, saying bye bye to the bottle, going pee pee in the potty, using their manners without being reminded, etc.
2. Singing and dancing
3. Laughing
4. Being silly every day
5. Helping to raise thoughtful, sharing, responsible kids
6. Hugs and cuddling
7. Being home when my kids get home from school
8. Watching my kids (15&12) become "heroes" to these kids. They love my kids and my kids love them!
9. Watching their imaginations work- sometimes it's silly, sometimes it's genius!
10. Even if I won the lottery, I would still do daycare (I would just hire a housekeeper and a cook

The 1 thing I absolutely hate about my job that makes me want to quit- Saying goodbye.....

AMEN to setting our own schedule!!!!

[rhondawarren]

GO!

I love my job for MANY reasons The number one reason would be that it allows me to be home with my children. Another important reason is because I absolutely love working with kids and making an impact on their lives by being apart of their daily lives.

[KSDC]

*Love getting my baby cuddles and smiles and coos - without the night feedings!
*Love seeing a munchkin's eyes light-up when she/he "gets it" (whatever it happens to be that day!)
*Love coming up with fun arts and crafts for the munchkins!
* Love reading story books, complete with voices and sound effects.


As it has already been said, I love being my own boss, setting my own days/hours and policies.

[My3cents]

the pro's do out weigh the cons

[llpa]

I get to do two things I love... Teach and be the business manager
The dcks are amazing, cute, crazy, funny, loving etcetc.
I laugh my butt off at least once a day at something they say
