    So Much Better!

    Just thought I would share this on a Friday afternoon...

    I am a former teacher turned home daycare owner. Every year around this time, I can’t help but feel so grateful that I made the switch!

    I am my own boss.
    I pick my own families.
    If something isn’t working, I have the power to change it.
    I walk downstairs to go to work.
    I work in comfortable clothing.
    I don’t have to leave when it is cold and snowy out.
    I am able to take care of my children during the day.
    I clean my own home throughout the day.
    I am done at 5:00 and do not work after the last child walks out my door.

    My anxiety and depression disappeared after I made this change. My family and I are so much happier!

        I love daycare so much better than teaching too! It took me a few years to figure it out, but now that I have my rules down I am so much happier.

          So glad to hear! Finding the positive in our job makes our days go by much easier. I'm hoping to be able to start thinking more positively when school starts.
          I think being a teacher these days has got to be a very difficult job. Too many people to please, too many state mandates to follow. Too many challenges with that many children. I could not do it. But I sure could use more of a teacher's schedule.
