I'm on my 11th year, I was only supposed to do this until my daughter went to school - she's almost 12. My next date is 3 years from now- when my mortgage is paid off. Then I'll go work part time in a centre base. That's the plan, what will probably end up happening is I'll carry on until I'm worn out. I love my job and I get paid to do it. For me it's the best of both worlds.
