I love this bit of advice! It can be pretty easy to get burnt out in this line of work, but kids are cute and easier to forgive when mistakes or issues occur. Parents can really burn you out when they disrespect policy over and over again. Sometimes I want to post a sign on my door to remind them that this is my job! Although I do love it, I do NOT only work for the fun of it! Pay me!
