| 'Ode To Child Care" Little Children come to me for Hugs and Books and such. I care for all their simple needs And I also fix them lunch. I pick up toys, I mop up spills And often dry their tears. I change their diapers, settle fights, And kiss away their fears. I tie their shoes, I button coats And push them on the swing. I really love these kids you see, But there is just one thing. Call me Aunt or Friend or Teacher, And those names just might fit. But please don't call me Sitter Because I never get to sit. -- Anonymous -- |
| Please be respectful and do not call me your 'babysitter'. A babysitter is a non-skilled, temporary, impersonal, in-your-home situation. I am a professional family child care provider and work hard to further my education in my chosen profession. I am your child care partner, an extended 'family member,' and your child's teacher. When I am referred to as a 'babysitter,' it devalues my role in the workforce and in your life. Thank you for your support. |
