That's my job

Well, I did it again. Why can't I ever learn from my past mistakes. Yes, I got in trouble over how I treat the children in my care. ( I remember why I got out of this line of care giving) I do not have the patience I use to have and I lost it. No I didn't hurt or harm anyone I just grabbed a sweatshirt and slammed my hand on the table, but they called me on it. Well now I don't have to worry about discipline, I'm not allowed to stop a child from doing things wrong. Oh I was upset, but more with myself that I lost it for a minute. Now for the elderly that I take care of, He likes me rubbing lotion on him so all night long he calls me into his room and wants lotion on different parts of his body. He admits that he likes it. Oh he is 92 and if I giving him back rubs with lotion makes him happy what should care. That is the role of care giving for all ages, making them feel loved and care for. That's my job. Care giver.

The life of a care giver

Hey, I'm awake, but I wish I wasn't. No I haven't been working that much I'm just discouraged at my daycare job. I have never had the problem I'm facing now and I don't know what to do. I've asked for help from the families and my boss and all I got was more trouble. How do you get kids to be quiet through nap? If I rub backs I ended getting kicked and hit when I quit. I've tried bribes, but the kids don't seem to care and the threat of parents has got me nowhere. Now my boss wants me to get the kids to rest 30 minutes then they can get up and watch 30 minutes of a video. If the ones don't rest they don't get to watch and I have to watch the ones that are up and the ones that can't get up yet plus not disturbing the other class in the same room. I just don't see the logic in this, especially the fact that nap is 2 hours long and this idea only last 1 hour. Maybe I should of stayed out of daycare, there was a reason I quit 3 years ago. I just don't have the patience as I should have. I'm so discouraged. I want to retire and just work at all the stuff here in the house. I want someone to take care of me. Oh, that's just tired speaking. You understand. That is the life of a care giver.
