    I have a few comments. I know there are people who do it, but why would you want to split your income with someone else? No matter how many adults are in the house you can still only have the income from 5 children.

    Everyone who is looking for daycare is a Mom returning from maternity leave so all children start out daycare at about 1 year of age, some a bit younger. The best scenario is to have the child stay with you for 3-4 years until they go to JK to reduce turnover, interviewing, and transitioning new children, which can be it's own nightmare. So as someone already mentioned, if you were going to cater only to infants you would be transitioning nonstop.

    Then of course we have Bill 143 hanging over our heads.

    Thanks...good point, mostly I believe that I really specialize in infant care, though of course all kids are special! But this is a very compelling point-transitioning is work!
