I think most of us started out because we wanted to stay home with our own kids. It can be a challenge starting up to get clients, but it depends on your area, your space that you have for the daycare, how it is set up, what you offer, etc. I did not have a hard time finding clients,but I put a ton of work into it before even opening...creating a website, setting up my daycare space, researching and talking to other caregivers, etc. Which city do you live in? Here in Ottawa we have a caregiver's resource network called CCPRN and it is a great source of information as well as getting clients. Even if you are not in Ottawa, you can check out their website and get more info about setting up a home daycare. You will need to also know the laws in your province (In Ontario you can have 5 daycare children plsu your own kids if you are a private home daycare). Good luck with the decision!
