    A lot of caregivers here started out with part time children but soon learned that it can be problematic. A part time child leaves spots empty on their non-care days. You can sometimes find another family to fill those empty days but then if one family leaves you are left trying to find another family that can fill just those set few time slots which can be increasingly difficult. It can leave you with open spots for long times, and less pay.

    Many caregivers do manage and enjoy providing part time care but it is worth noting the challenges it brings. It is difficult to begin with part time care and switch to only full time care as it requires either waiting till all part time families leave your care ( could be years) or terminating families for no reason other than you no longer want to do part time which isn't ideal on your reputation.
