Hello everyone,

I have started operating from December 2011 and I found my first client(part time) withing couple of week priory to opening in December. And then another client(part time) and another one again part time. Lately, I have been getting quite a few interest and now I can proudly say that I have a waiting list with 4-5 family waiting for me to contact them.

I currently don't take more then 3 kids as my place is small and I don't want to tire myself cause all my dck are babies or young children.

I have asked parents' who are on my waiting list to see if they would be interested if I take more kids lets say 6 kids with 2 adults(me and one full time helper) and they said they are interested.

We are thinking of moving although nothing certain to a house where there will be more space and a garden that I can use for my day home. I just want to know what are pros and cons of running a day home from house? We currently live in an apartment and except electricity the rest are included in the rent.

IF I employ a staff, will I be responsible for her taxes or I just need to pay her salary and she will take care of the rest? And how much should I be paying for her service? "I'm thinking" of doing this towards the end of this year or beginning of next year the latest. I just want to know whether it's worth it or not. I mean if I'm going to make the same amount of money I'm now making I will not bother.

By the way, I own a private day home.

Thank you for your inputs.
