In this episode, we talk about:

• Parent Aware stress

• What we are taking on right now and what we are letting go.
• Daycare sickness going through the house

• Being in the news when we were not planning on it

We also want to hear how other providers handle weeks like this!

If daycare ever spills into everything, this episode is for you.

🎙️ You are not alone.

Running a home daycare can feel incredibly lonely. In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the "Instagram vs. Reality" of our jobs—from the pressure to be a perfect provider to the struggle of navigating perimenopause while chasing toddlers.

We also discuss why we started this podcast (to find community!) and share a review of a toy that actually keeps the kids quiet.

Running a home daycare is isolating, exhausting, and a lot harder than anyone admits, especially when you can’t afford to quit.

The Daycare Sisters Podcast, hosted by two sisters with 30+ years of real in-home daycare experience, says the things you think but never say out loud so you can stop beating yourself up and feel less alone in this job.
