I'm with you Reggio .... My husband can support our family and I do this to pay down bills faster and to do some extras around the house, pay for the kids RESP's, things like that also it releaves a bit of the pressure/stress from my husband who is chronically ill and stress causes flare ups so my working helps with his over all health. I need to have at least 2 full time kids in order for it to be worth my while but I prefer to be full (who wouldn't). I am fortunate that in my area it is hard to find good day care that opens early in the morning which is why I open at 6:45 and 4of my 5 children arrive between 6:45 and 7. The last one comes at 7:30. So in order for me to remain full I have to open early which suits me better then staying open later. That being said when I first reopened my dayhome I took anything I could get and therefore I was working 12.5 hours part of the week now that I am full and have an opening coming available in sept I can be more choosy. Good luck with getting more interviews for families looking fir care that fits into your own schedule better.
