That is an issue that you should discuss with your mental health professional. On the face of it, it would seem a very bad idea. Daycare workers need to be able to handle all sorts of frustrating issues, day after day, and be kind and patient while doing it. Folks who are bipolar often have difficulty with precisely those things. Question: have you been diagnosed as bipolar by a mental health professional, or just your family physician? If you have not seen a professional, you probably ought to do so. There may be treatment options that you are missing. Since you speak of daycare, I'm inferring that there might be money problems. Contact your local mental health association for options.
PS: Bipolar disorder cannot be accurately diagnosed by laymen. There are too many other things, like the effects of alcohol and drugs (legal and otherwise), that can confuse the issue.
Medication is always the first and recommended treatment for bipolar disorder, but what will also work is regular therapy. The medicine includes antidepressants.
