Practicum Session 8: by https://padlet.com/Applied_ECE/2kmvx3dadtvjxe9t Being a daycare worker is a hard job because you are constantly giving energy, time and caring for others. Each week, how do you take time to take care of yourself? en-us 2023-12-07 16:12:11 UTC 2025-12-02 18:34:24 UTC hello@padlet.com How i take care of myself. https://padlet.com/Applied_ECE/2kmvx3dadtvjxe9t/wish/3706978423 After hours, when i get home, i usually relax for a bit and talk with my sister how we can work things together. Who cooks, who clean and what we can do after. Sometimes i take a long hot shower to relax, sometimes we takeout food when we can. I try to keep my kids go sleep early as 9:30pm even o weekend so i can relax or catch up on what i need to do. Prepare for next day.

I get more energy to make supper and clean up a bit before bed time. Or even just hot hot shower helps. And listening to Inuktitut songs to sing along with calms my mind.

Put it on your calendar in ink. Whether it's two hours on Saturday morning or 30 minutes every evening, consistency is key.

  • After school when I get home, I usually take a hot bath, work things out with my other half, we take turns with self care as it is sooo important for everyone.’

    After hot bath it helps my body to be on the go, so I catch up with cleaning, and other things.

We know a lot of the hardships we’ll face as we get into the work force. But some days can be very challenging and we go into stress or over tired ourselves, but we know is is important to take care of out mind and body. We can try to destress by taking time by ourselves, taking walks to clear our mind, meditating, going to visit someone you trust to talk things out of your mind, or just simply being calm:)
