Mat leave eligibility for a home daycare provider in Ontario

[daycare_mom]

I have finished my mat leave in June, and decided not to go back to work thinking I will be self employed with my daycare. I only have one kid in the daycare and that's only for 2 days a week. I'm trying to see if I can find a job with afternoon and evening shifts so that we can minimize the time my son will have to be in a daycare. I don't wanna leave him for the full day all of a sudden. But I can't also afford to not having mat leave. So just crossing my fingers. My previous employer has a job opening with the hours from 2-10pm. That seems to be the best option as of now. Will call them today, hopefully they will hire me. I don't have any families/ in-laws here to help with the new baby. They live on the other side of the world! Pls keep sending your thoughts and prayers in my way. I really need that.

Thanks everyone!
