Hello Everyone!
I just signed up for this forum. It looks to be quite interesting. I have reopened my home daycare after 8 years of not having one. When my 3rd child was born in 1997 my husband and I decided to open a daycare which had been a dream of mine every since I could remember. I ran it for 6 years and then we moved to Ontario. My youngest was then starting school so I decided to reenter the corporate work force. It was good for a while but then the stress of meetings,deadlines , long hours etc made me decide to go back to what I loved. Long hours are involved in home daycare too but it is of your own choosing and you are at home doing what you love.
Right now I have an adorable one year old full time. I met with another client last Friday who seemed all set to sign up with me but she has some issues with my policies/contract. How much should I bend with my contract? We can really use the extra income now. I have advertised quite a bit.....on Kijji, on this web site, on parentrelief. com, flyers and I have put the word out through friends and neighbours. Is there anything I am missing?
