Nobody talks about this part of childcare…

Yesterday was the last day of care for one of our babies.

She started with us this summer, just a tiny little thing. And somehow, in what feels like the blink of an eye, we watched her grow right in front of us.

We saw her take her first steps.
We introduced her to new foods and watched her light up when she liked something… and boy did she ever.
We got to be part of her everyday life.

And yesterday, we had to say goodbye.

Her dad got a new job, and their family is relocating. And while I am truly so happy for them and this new chapter they’re stepping into… my heart still broke watching them walk out the door.

Because she wasn’t just “a daycare kid.”

She was one of ours.

She was one of those kids… the sweet ones, the easygoing ones, the ones that just make your day better without even trying. The ones you genuinely look forward to seeing every morning.

And this is the part people don’t always see.

Yes, there are hard days in childcare.
Yes, there are overwhelming moments.

But there are also these moments…
where you realize just how much you’ve poured into a child… and how much they’ve meant to you.

As I told mom goodbye, I thanked her for trusting me. For allowing me to be a part of her daughter’s life. For letting me witness all those little milestones that parents don’t always get to see during the workday.

And then they left.

And the house felt a little quieter.

This job is a job of the heart.

You can’t do this every day and not get attached. You can’t love on these kids like your own and not feel it when they’re gone.

I will miss her so much.

And I truly hope one day she comes back to visit… so I can see the little tiny human she becomes.
