Hi,
I live in the Lorne Park area and am currently on maternity leave but have decided to stay home longer with my two kids ages 1 and 3. I want to provide care for one additional child in my home for 2-3 days a week. I think it will be nice for my 3 year-old to have a playmate until he begins school in September of 2017 and I enjoy children.
Is there any laws that would apply to my situation? I know I would have to provide a receipt to the parents (what does this look like?) and formally claim my income. I will remain unlicensed but will look up the rules for child care. I don't want to make any mistakes in terms of the regulations that I should follow.
Also, does anyone know how much I should charge in this situation? I do not specialize in childcare; however, I am a licensed professional with the Ontario College of Teachers OCT (experienced high school teacher).
I have just begun to research this possibility but any help, advice, or important links you could provide me with would be fantastic.
Thank you in advance! Colleen
