aaaand, as soon as I posted that, my phone rang for someone looking for care for two days a week. They're coming for an interview this weekend and seem great over the phone but now I'm a little more...

I decided to open a child care in my home back in May I think and started advertising almost right away. I managed to get one interview and that client signed up to start in September. It's now...

What also made me think about it is that today, dcm mentioned that 8 month old dcb has red and sore looking genitals that she and hubby noticed last night. She wasn't accusing me at all, just asking...

So just before I started my child care 2 months ago, I made sure I had a child care policy added to my home insurance and I don't have this recorded anywhere but I know I asked about whether it...

Other Mummy: yes, she called it "poo" - I'm not a fan either. I did ask my sister in law who was also here yesterday and has been here multiple times the last 2 months if she noticed anything and...

So today, out of the blue, my one and only dcp who's been amazing thus far, told me that some days my house smells like poo. :o We weren't talking about anything related to smells to diapers or...

Do you still charge when you close or not?

Well, I'm 8 weeks now and I'm definitely not showing so I'm not too concerned about that. Hopefully with appointments being at least a month apart it won't seem too suspicious :)

To those that do drive their dck's around, did you do that from the beginning or start transporting by car when you were already up and running? Is there special insurance required for the car? Any...

Thanks for the congratulations and all the advice. I think I'm still going to keep it quiet, even if people start suspecting, but I will just keep it to vague explanations. I appreciate all your...

I just found out a few weeks ago that I'm pregnant (woohoo!) and we're planning on keeping it between hubby and I until Christmas. Yesterday I had my first prenatal appointment. I only have one...

So today ended up being a really good day actually. Just this afternoon, I had one mom email me looking for care for her 9 month old in January and another mom call me and leave a message gushing...

Update:

So I texted the mom on Friday, reminding her to bring the forms and payment, etc and I didn't hear anything all weekend. I wasn't sure what time they would drop the daughter off because...

Thanks again :) the text is sent so we'll see what happens. I'll try and update next week if I have a chance - or earlier I guess if she replies with something. I'm definitely going to take the...

Thanks for all the input so far. I've definitely learned some lessons through this experience and there are a few things that I will do differently next time. I think I'll wait to see if this sort of...

Thanks for the replies :) As it turned out, I only had one child starting this week anyway with a second one starting the middle of next week so that's just the way it worked out. For the first...

Hi all,

Warning: this is going to be a loooooong post...sorry.

I've just started my daycare - literally two days in and already I'm having issues. Tuesday and Wednesday I had a 3 year old part...

Hi all,

I'm an ECE graduate and I've just started advertising my home child care this week. I haven't actually opened yet (starting in September) but I'm wondering how to do a"transition" week...

Does that affect anything other than not having to use your SIN and being able to use a name other than just your full name? I'm thinking of registering my business because I want the business name...
