| ~Childcare Tuition~ Please be considerate. Please be kind. Please remember to pay me on time. This is a real job. I have bills that are due. When I get paid late. My bills are late too. To defray the charges That I may accure, A $15 per day late charge Will be passed onto you. When it comes to your child, I�m caring, thoughtful, helpful and true. I just ask for the same respect And consideration from you! |
| ~The Toddler's Creed~ If I want it ... it's mine! If I give it to you and change my mind later ... it's mine! If I can take it away from you, it's mine If I had it a little while ago ... it's mine! If it's mine, it will never belong to anyone else ... no matter what! If we are building something together ... all the pieces are mine! If it looks like mine ... it is mine! If you really think it belongs to you ... it most definitely is MINE!! |

| ~Don't Call Me A Babysitter~ Little children come to me for hugs and books and such. I care for all their special needs and also fix them lunch. I pick up toys, mop up spills, and often dry their tears. I change their diapers, settle fights and kiss away their fears. I tie their shoes, button coats and push them on the swing. I really love these kids, you see, but there is just one thing. Call me Mom or Aunt or Teacher or other names that fit, But please don't call me the "sitter", because I never get to sit! |

| ~Touching the Future~ I don't wear power suits, make speeches, or drive a fancy sports car. I've never talked on a car phone, made a big sale, or been elected to the Senate. I don't "do lunch", have a big impressive office, or carry a beeper. I spend my days wiping away tears, giving hugs, and serving chicken nuggets. A good day is when I go through a whole day without a temper tantrum, bite mark or a toilet training accident. My "office" is a room full of brightly colored toys and laughing children. You may not think that what I do is very important and you may even whisper behind my back "What a waste of a good mind." But I know better. I make a difference because I'm changing the world one child at a time. Everyday I'm getting the once in a lifetime chance to touch the future. I'm proud to say "I'm a child care provider". |
