    Looking for advice on opening a home daycare

    Ottawa area:

    So I’m considering opening an unlicensed home daycare

    I’m not an ECE, but have years of experience nannying (both full and part time), have supplied in a licensed Ontario daycare, have most of a teaching degree, am bilingual.

    I left the childcare field about five years ago (having considered becoming an ECE because I was concerned about being able to financially support myself).

    Is that enough experience to make this work on a business level? Do I 100% need an ECE in order to attract clients? I qualify for the accelerated/condensed program but that involves needing care for my own child and the money isn’t there.

    I have one child of my own at home (a toddler). We are also renters, so concerns on affording a big enough rental in Ottawa to actually run a home daycare?

    Thoughts? Any advice you wish you’d have been given starting out??
