Daycare

Day Care is a self-employed profession added in The Sims 3: Generations. Any Sim can turn their home into a daycare center. Daycare specialists are responsible for watching and taking care of both toddlers and children. As their job level increases, daycare specialists will be asked to take care of more children. Daycare is the only self-employed career to have only five levels.

Amateur Babysitter (level one) - On the day the job starts, two toddlers will be dropped off at 9am and stay until 7pm. Your sim will work Monday- Thursday and is in charge of feeding them, playing with them, changing them, and keeping them in a good mood. The job performance is based on the relationship between your sim and the toddler, daily day care duties, and how your sim handles the "emergencies" that come up. To see what the toddler needs hover over them. At the end of the day, when the parents pick up their children a daily report will pop up on the upper right side of your computer screen. The better the overall moods of the toddlers the better your Sim's job performance.

Cool Caretaker (level two) - This level is basically the same as level one exept your Sim now have a third toddler. Three todlers can be difficult so be careful!

Day Care Dynamo (Level three) - The Sim in charge is now expected to teach the toddlers how to walk and talk. These Sims earn a weekly stripend of 300 sim dollars a week. Parents also start calling saying they will be late and over the weekend. Normally your Day Care Sim will get a call around 9:30 (Sim time) on Saturday night with a parent asking to watch their child for the next day (Sunday). When parents are late, or call on the weekend your sim can expect an extra payment depending on each parent.

Good Guardian (Level four) - Your Sim now watches the four toddlers plus a child when they get out of school. This job gets a weekly stripend of 400 Sim dollars a week plus any extra your Sim gets from late nights or weekends. This daycare level gives your Sim the "go play" social interaction to be used on the children in their care. The child is expected to have their homework finished and will show up in the daily report whether it was done or not.If the child starts playing immediatly, the Sim in charge can tell then to "do homework" in the friendly conversation bubble.
