My price is the same regardless of age. Any age has it's challenges. The only thing I will change is as of 2016 I will charge a bit more for a child under 2 due to Bill 10 limiting the number of...

The youngest I would personally take is 10 months. In the past I have taken as young as 8 months but I wouldn't do that anymore. 11-12 months at the start as pretty standard.

I really think it depends on where you live and how many providers are around. I live in an extremely family friendly community and the centres here charge a lot so it is pretty easy to find kids. ...

How would this work with townhouses? I thought that to be licensed you had to have a large house to have the maximum number of kids? I guess I'm just wondering if I can have less kids than the 4...

I think a lot of people aren't upfront about only needing temporary care as many DCPers would not take them if that was the case so there would be less to choose from. I've had two families leave me...

I do not charge for my sick days or vacation days (besides stats). I do find it annoying to not have any paid personal days for appointments, funerals etc. though so I will be adding two paid...

I only took two weeks off as I had to shut down two weeks before my due date due to high blood pressure (doctor's orders) so a month total. I probably could have taken more time but I didn't want to...

I don't usually go to the park when I have all 5 DCK's here. We tend to just play in the backyard at that point since I have two of my own too. I think it's also a safety thing. I do have the choo...

My son is 4 months and I EBF and have since the beginning. I only closed for two weeks and we have always had a great nursing relationship. My hubby is on pat leave for 6 months so I don't know how...

I have 5 kids total (some are FT and some are PT). 3.5, 2.5, 20 mos, 18 mos and 12 mos. There are no more than 5 on any given day and usually less. I don't intend to have 5 full time kids every...

I was pregnant with my second while running my dayhome. He was born just before Christmas (perfect timing for using my vacation). I only took two weeks off after he was born and my hubby is on pat...
