What’s in my pocket as a daycare teacher

Product reviews:

Vaseline lotion: this stuff is so amazing I have 2 small ones and a bigger one and I’m almost out of all of them I just got them not to long ago. These are gonna be repurchased.

Touchland hand sanitizer: I love the hand sanitizer and it’s expensive yes but I love it and I’m not super into the watermelon scent but it’s still good.

E.L.F lip balm: I love elf it’s one of my favorite brands! I love the squeeze me lip balms! This is not one of my favorite scents but still I love it!

You all are so amazing thank you for your support!

Love yall!

As a daycare teacher, having the right products on hand is essential for both personal care and maintaining a healthy environment. The Vaseline Advanced Repair Lotion is a favorite among many, known for its intense moisture and fast absorption, perfect for frequent use. It's particularly beneficial during dry seasons when skin tends to crack and become irritated. Another top recommendation is Touchland Power Mist Hand Sanitizer, which combines effective germ-killing properties with hydration to keep hands clean and moisturized. The watermelon scent might not be for everyone, but the chic packaging and quality make it a standout choice for educators on the go. Additionally, E.L.F Squeeze Me Lip Balm provides hydration to lips, essential for teachers engaging in constant interaction with children. It's affordably priced and comes in various scents, ensuring there's something for everyone. For educators, maintaining personal comfort while providing care is crucial, making these products invaluable. Incorporating these items into your daily routine not only enhances personal well-being but also sets a great example for the children, teaching them about self-care practices.
