No much help because I plan on closing down completely for the full year mat leave (living off of money put aside and EI money I get from paying into the EI for self employed individuals). I feel blessed that in Canada we get that full year to really bond with our baby/as a new family and think that time is so important...it only comes around every time you bring a new life into this world so I plan to take full advantage and enjoy every minute. IF I reopen, I will just start from scratch as there is always demand here for care...my current families will also get lots of time to find new care. Good luck!!! That is soo exciting you are adding to your family Best of luck!!!
