    I claim an extra hour per day on top of my usual operating hours. When I added the extra time up and averaged it out, it's probably more like 1.5-2 hrs a day, when I look at time spent on the weekends/before daycare opens/ and after daycare closes. I didn't want to raise any red flags with CRA, so I just added 1 hour. Think of the time spent advertising/emails/making contracts/creating websites/cleaning the house/dishes/laundry/shopping/banking/meal prep/craft prep/interviews/weekly bookkeeping of receipts etc/repairing damaged items/your house etc.
    I have always used an accountant, and never once did she let me know I could claim the extra time. I found the info. last year on this site, and asked her about it, and she said that was fine.
    It would have been nice to know sooner!

    Exactly, there is so much time spent outside of childcare hours on childcare activity. Great suggestion to add more time to your day.
