Does anyone only look after before/after school kids?

[Play and Learn]

Hubby and I are looking into doing this once we have kids of our own (so 1-2 years down the road). It would be paying for our bills if we did this. $20/child/day.

With the busing out in the country, we would have the kids for max 2 hours per day. I find that the kids that I have currently just want to play, and don't want a snack (which saves some more money for us!).

Hours that I'm open is 7:30-5, and I would have the kids between 7:30-8:30, then 4-5. If you have children of your own, it makes sense as you can go and volunteer at your childs school, do your errands, etc. In Ontario, as we're allowed 5 children in our home under the age of 10, it would pay me $100/day - not bad when you think they're not costing you much!

You would also have to decide if you'll take them for P/D Days, holidays, etc. If they come for P/D Days, then the rate goes to $35/day as they're eating and using my supplies - but you would have to mention that in your manual/contract before taking them on! I would be taking the kids on P/D Days as I have teachers children, but not March Break, etc as I have my holidays then!
