Hi Everyone,

I am new to this site and need your input and help as I am so confused and nervous. I have a 16 month baby whom I had to put in daycare back in November because I had to go back to work. As most of you know more than half of my pay goes towards his daycare as it is a Montessori school and is very expensive. On top of which he has been sick almost all the time every since and I kept calling in sick at work.

I have a BA from York univeristy and an MBA but I have had no luck finding a good and higher paying job

I have been applying for over a year and nothing. My husband and I recently purhcased a brand new home and with all the other expenses we just need more income! I have decided since I cant find a higher paying job to open a business and I think a daycare is always in need and in demand. I am nervous because I have a baby, a mortgage etc but has my husband says if i dont take a risk I wont get anywhere in life.

My other dilema is we applied for a Nanny back in November when I came to know how expensive day care is, to help with house hold chores and my son.

So now my question is if I open a home daycare, can I have my Nanny work for me and pay her extra salary and I can keep my full time job? Am I allowed to have staff for at home daycares?

Whats your opinion on Wee Watch? Is it worth it?

What about opening an actual center not to big, for like 20 kids? What do you guys think? Please help me as I need all your inputs.

Thanks
