Just be yourself. You've been doing this a long time and your families obviously love you. The one thing I'll say is be firm about payment and being paid on time. I'm guessing this is one thing the agency took care of for you, so it will be new? Just make sure that your clients understand that no payment means no care.

Congratulations. Advice for a veteran? Your families obviously love what you do (and you) so keep doing what you are doing and forge ahead with confidence. I agree with jazmic, it's tough to be tough but you have to with YOUR policies now and especially on time payments. All the best to you.

I started out with an agency and than went solely private ~ not much changed in the day to day running of the program .... except now you are responsible for billing and receiving with your clients so ensuring you have a clear contract and stand FIRM with payment practices!
Congratulations!
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."

Congratulations! I wouldn't want to be with an agency because I like being self-employed and being my own boss. I worked for big companies all my life and I don't ever want to be in that situation again as long as I live. It's wonderful to choose who you work with and who you remove from your life and never have to deal with again. It gives you peace of mind to know that you can always choose how to make your life happy, to be in charge of your own contract and your policies and rules. Have a wonderful time with your changeover.

Not sure why, I have been doing this for 11 years. It may have something to do with the horror stories/scare tactics put on me by the agency owner or what "could" happen. But all of my families have stayed on with me. I am happy about that.
