a few things to remember

remind yourself  I am NOT the mother of your child. I will wind up doing things differently than the way you do things. change is difficult for everyone. give another way a chance before you "show us how you do it.". to speak quite frank and quite honestly there will come a time when you will not be able to care for your child. isn't it best to ease the transition of change why you're still able to do it. I understand having a stranger come into your home to take care of your child is a difficult situation. but trust me when I say I am here for a reason

remind yourself  I could be flipping burgers at McDonalds , or do secretarial work to earn my living. I choose to service families like yours. I choose to work through behaviors with your child, I choose to come to work every day, I choose to love your child enough to see them through the hard times. and most the time I choose to put your child before my needs and my own personal life because that's how much I love my job and that's how much I love your family.

remind yourself  even though I am a stranger if anyone can understand even a fraction of how hard it is to raise your child I am the one who can.
