Yeah, I looked into going with an agency when I started and I quickly realized it would not be viable for me. If I am forced to go through an agency and take a huge pay cut, I will likely look into doing something else. I love providing childcare and love being home for my kids, but I have discovered that I also love working for myself, making my own rules, building my own business, etc. I don't mind if we have to register somewhere and even have some sort of inspection, but not if it affects numbers and ratios to include my own kids and not if I have to give a percentage of my income to an agency that I, quite frankly, have no need of. I am able to fill my daycare quite easily without them and I have access to training through CCPRN.
