This is not for the faint of heart—or for anyone who doesn’t adore children. Everyone knows that children can try a person’s patience and unless you are a person who loves children and has immense reservoirs of patience—you should not try this at home.
Many mothers are eschewing the workplace to stay home with their own children. This puts an enormous strain on a family’s finances, going from two incomes down to one, especially after adding another mouth to feed to the mix.
Stay at home moms are opting to run day cares in their own homes.
Before you start taking in random children from the neighborhood, you must contact your local licensing agency to find out about the laws governing in-home daycares. Some states will allow you to watch another family member’s child or children without becoming licensed. Others require that you take classes in cpr, nutrition, and pass a background check.
Make sure you also check with your homeowners insurance to see what they offer in the way of coverage. You will need insurance for your at home business venture.
