Hello Incredible Daycare Providers!

My name is Cookie and I am so excited to join your group It's been a long time coming and over the past 10 months I've been reading the threads to get a glimpse of "The Real Lives of HDP" to help determine if this was the right career change... and it is! Next week I'm officially starting the journey and have 2 more clients to follow shortly.

It's just so exciting, and as time goes on I hope to be as supportive to all of you as you've been to one another.

Thanks

I've found the ladies to be a great support system. Congrats on your new venture!

Welcome! This board is great. It makes you feel like your not the only adult in the house all day. LOL
Good luck with the grand opening

Congrats, and welcome to our awesome profession! My children are all school aged, so I don't really need to be at home, but it's definitely nice not to have to worry about before/after school care, etc. I wish I had done this forever ago.

Welcome. It's really important to have others who understand and can give good advice and support when you work alone in your home. That is why these forums are lifesavers. Vent away, tell us your success stories and your troubles.

Thank you everyone! First day was great. The babe went down for a nap and didn't cry all day. Not getting too excited because it could have been first day luck; but celebrating for the meantime
