Taking care of Juliet is still going well! She only needs part-time care, which is great
for me since I still have homework and housework to do. I think that if I went further with my
daycare idea, I’d probably want to try to have older kids. While I love babies and I love taking care of
Juliet, little babies require a lot of attention and care. Older kids (2 and older) are better able to
play and entertain themselves and don’t require as much hands-on care. Plus, it’s easier to play with group
activities and interact with everyone when they’re a little older. But babies do take lots of naps, so that is a
baby bonus. If I wanted to expand, I
could hire someone to help me (like my husband) and that way someone could
focus on baby care and the other person could take care of the older kids.
I made a 5-year financial forecast for a different class using
my daycare idea. I think that it could
be extremely successful with minimal expenses!
My husband could easily quit his job to help me and we’d be doubling our
income if we had 16 kids enrolled! I
looked into licensing requirements and 16 is the most we could take care of
together. But we could always hire a
helper if we wanted to take care of even more!
There are different types of home daycare licenses – a home care
provider, such as myself, or a family child care provider, which would be my
husband and I. There are pros and cons
to each type as they do have their differences.
But I think it would be most advantageous to register a family daycare!
