    Smile Hi!!

    Hi, just wanted to introduce myself. I have been a dayhome provider for a whopping 3 weeks!

    I live in southern Alberta and am a licensed dayhome provider. I am a mommy of two beautiful children. My son is 3 years old and my daugher is 8 months old. I currently have two part time girls (siblings) in my care; a 3 year and a 13 month old.

    I've been working out the kinks on my own but I'm sure I'll have tons of questions for you to answer.

    Can't wait to learn from all of you!

    Hello CountryMommy! We're here to help each other out, and give tidbits of info that has helped us.

    Hopefully you have a manual that the parents follow and have gotten them each to sign a contract, after that it's pretty easy going!

    Hey CountryMommy, welcome!! I am also in southern Alberta. I have been running a dayhome for a little over a year now, although I am currently off for this month to have our fourth child. Will be re-opening at the beginning of October.
    I have found this forum INVALUABLE since joining a few months ago. Love being able to get advice from other providers, or even just let off some steam about my day. Only someone else who wipes bums and noses ALL DAY LONG really understands, hahaha.
    See you around!

    Welcome from me too! I am new to the daycare business as well this year. I have four daycare kids, ages 14 months, 17 months, and two 2 year olds, and have three kids of my own, ages 11, 9 and 7.

    I have been on this forum since May, and have found the women on here to be very supportive and knowledgeable.

    Welcome! I too, can't say enough good things about this forum! It`s nice to have outside contact, especially with people who know what you go through on a daily basis!

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
Did you know?
On average, a listing is viewed each month by more than 50 parents looking for an available opening for their child!
