An alternate for working moms,
she comforts, pampers, soothes and calms.
With all love she has to share,
She is great to have them.

She loves to rock a fussy child,
corrects one who gets too wild.
She hears her share of tearful please,
and comforts with skinned up knees.

With little children she plays a peek,
for bigger ones it’s hide-n-seek.
She is expert at each game,
but somehow loses just the same

She helps them learn alphabet,
and gives them hugs when they’re upset.
She is a true and trusted friend,
who helps them learn and play pretend.

Although she’s paid, it’s plain to see,
she serves them with a love that’s free.
