My Mommy is a Care Taker

Sold on Amazon as My Mommy is a Care Taker (US spelling)

Your child knows you look after people. She does not know what that looks like.

It is one of the least visible jobs there is — no uniform to point at, no building to visit, just time given to somebody who needs it. This book shows her the shape of it.

When she asks her mummy what she does all day, she is shown: helping somebody who needs a little extra care, sitting and listening to their stories, and the small ordinary things that make a person smile. A warm, calm read-aloud about kindness and paying attention, paced for bedtime.
