Maybe a slightly different perspective...
As daycare providers for a lot of kids you spend more time with the kids than their actual parents have done. In the US its not uncommon for kids to start daycare at 6 weeks. They spent the majority of their waking hours with you providers until they turn 5 and go to school. Your are their norm, their comfort, their home in many ways, kids come back to care after the weekend wild and exhausted because that norm was disrupted by biological strangers in a lot of cases.
