Daycare Centers

I just read the news article about those kids who accidently drank windshield wiper fluid at a home daycare center.  The accident occurred because the woman who runs the daycare thought it was blue Kool-Aid.  What a terrible mistake to make.  Fortunately the kids are fine because they didn’t ingest enough to actually kill them; although one of the children is still in intensive care.

My sister use to work as a nanny and then she started a home daycare herself.  I remember one time when I was visiting her she had 3 of her own children and then about 4 other children to watch as well.  I couldn’t believe how chaotic it was and how difficult of a job that would be for me.  I stood back in amazement as I watched her observe each of the kids to make sure they were fine.  I swear being a teacher or running a daycare is one of the most difficult jobs there is.
