I am a single mom daycare provider. I split up with my ex when the kids just turned 2 and 4 yrs old. I was a stay home mom who was doing afterschool care for spending money ( since my husband refused to share a bank account) moving to full time daycare seemed the best solution as my kids were already confused and distraught when their dad moved out. I have been doing it now for 10 years and I love working for myself ( although I also have two other part time jobs in the evenings and on weekends)
