Can you get creative and find ways to give your feet a rest? Would sitting more help?
Get a couple office type chairs and try sitting for more of the day, and get a stool for the kitchen and sit during food prep and dishes.
How old are your kids? Are you carrying some still (stairs etc) can you make changes so they become more independent so you are not carrying extra weight more than needed?
Put a stool next to the change table and have the kids climb on the stool then help them transfer over, or better yet set up a floor changing area and sit and make the kids come to you and lie them on the floor, depending on how many kids you have you can get a good break there!
Maybe by breaking down your day and finding ways to help your feet rest you can make it easier on yourself. This would allow you to continue home daycare while still giving your body the break it needs.
What about a hand massager? Give yourself mini foot rubs throughout the day when the children are settled. During nap lie down and put your feet up for a bit.
Find ways to "slack off" while still doing your job!
