Hi there Ladies,

Now that my 2 oldest are in school and with the new BILL 10, my days are left pretty ... well pretty slow and boring at times. I have my own 11 month old an 18 month old and a 3 yo. I could technically take on one more child because my eldest is over 6. However, I really wish to take on my god son in the spring and I don't want to terminated anyone to make room for him. So I was thinking maybe some drop in care would help fill my days a bit more here and there but would also leave me some freedom to go out and about. However I am hesitating to do so because I really don't want to be accepting kids in here from just any families and get into all sorts of problems. I've been blessed with the families that I have worked with. So I was wondering if it's possible to line up and interview families that require drop in and keep a contract with only a few of them ? What would the contract look like ? I'm expecting to apply all the rules to some extension (hours drop off and everything ) but how do you manage paid vacations or termination of care, do they need to give notice ? Or do you simply charge more for a day of service and waive it. Do they give you a deposit and once the need for drop in ends you give the deposit back ? Do you even find enough families looking for daycare here and there ? Do you require a 24/48 hour notice of need of care ? I'm just a little sacred I think with the logistics of it.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated
