Any experiences on operating a in home child care?

Question

I'm in Ohio.

Answer 1

Yes! I am an in home daycare provider as of June 2004 and prior to that I worked in a daycare facility for 3 years as well and I LOVE every minute of it, however very demanding yes, but as well very rewarding for that special person who just LOVES children like myself. My sister is also in to homedaycare of whom I convinced to start her own business. It can be very stressful but the most problems I've had were out of the parents and NOT the children (go figure- lol) I am currently pregnant and have NO children @the time and I'm very bored and lonely however I'd say research it well first. do your home work and then make a good decision for you and your family. Consult your spouse if you have one and make sure you have a good support system. God Bless and I pray you have fun either way you decide!

Answer 2

Yeah,

Its great to be inhome all the time and able to leave your house too, but when there is screaming kids involved its not so good! i wouldnt recommend it because taxes are VERY expensive to run an in home daycare, but if you have kids that you want to stay home with i suggest you stay home with them and not have in home daycare just watch a few kids from you friends,

hope this helps!

Answer 3

Yes.

And I recommend that people don't do it !

It's too much stress and headache.

But that's just me.
