I personally haven’t worked in a daycare but I do have 3 little baby nieces that I watch quite often and 4 younger siblings. I also babysit/nanny all of our family friends kids. Being that my mom was always working I was always watching the little ones while she was away. I’ve watched them since they were just about a week old so I know that you have to be extremely cautious with little ones. I’d say I have just as much experience as anyone that’s worked in a daycare I just wasn’t receiving income from it, which in my opinion makes it better. I love kids and I believe they should be taken care of by someone that genuinely cares for them, it’ll never be like a parents love but it should be up there with it. I can help with homework, I can provide transportation, and I can Read more do fun activities with them if allowed ☺️ One thing that may steer parents away is i’m not CPR certified, I completely understand if that’s something you’d prefer someone to have, the kids safety comes first :)) If you have any questions please feel free to ask, I’d love to answer them.
