I think your starting point needs to your province guidelines. Where are you located? For example BC has a licensing system and another for not licensed. This was my starting point as I knew I'd need to be licensed in order to make an affordable income for my family. From there the rules, environment, policies, rates, etc etc where fairly laid out for me through them. Good luck and as long as everyone in the house is on board I don't see why you couldn't make it work.
