    New from Cambridge,On

    Hi all,
    I've been reading here all day, and have seen some great advice.
    I've been thinking about opening my own homedaycare. I've worked as a nanny, and have had a hard time finding a new nanny position.
    I still have to convince my husband, but want to get all my facts straight first. Show him it can be a good thing.

    I have a 2 year old daughter myself, who would love to have some friends to play with every day.

    Can't wait to delve in some more, and learn from your experience.

    Welcome - I was born and raised in Cambridge - miss it terribly somedays!

    Making an informed decision in entering this aspect of the field is a key to less stress and an easier transition so you are off to a good start
    Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect."

    Welcome to the site. Start slowly and bring in one child at a time and learn as you go and you'll be fine. Good luck!

    Thanks ladies. I moved here 11 years ago. I've worked in a centre daycare for the past 7 years, until I had my girl. And then they wanted me to come work a 3 way split shift, so my dd would have had to be in care for 12 hours. I was not doing that.

    I definitely want to start slowly, and probably will only do 3 kids at a time. We'll see if I want to go to more later on.
