Best reason to open a daycare

[playfelt]

My training is as an elementary school teacher although I have taken some ECE courses too but same thing as Laurie, I would only be trading my own environemnt for one controlled by someone else. I also mom to 4 kids by the time I had paid for childcare for them it wouldn't have been worth it anyways. I love being home and do not mind not having the adult contact. Not saying I don't talk to myself more than I probably should but I hear you on the no driving in snowstorms, my wardrobe consists of gym clothes and if I don't bother with makeup no one cares.

Oh, forgot about those too! Love, love, love my wardrobe - but hubby thinks I should have some grown up clothes too! lol Hate wearing makeup, so that's fine! Love having PJ day with the kids! lol

My reasons, in no particular order:

- the extra income is nice
- I am able to be here for my own 4 children
- We always wanted more than 4 kids, but fate doesn't always play that way. This is a nice way to keep interacting with young children.
- I am able to be home to do other fun things that would take the backburner if I worked outside the home, like keep chickens, grow a large garden, baking ect.
- it forces me off my lazy butt and out to walk 4 miles a day, doing the school walk...keeps me trim!
- I am able to teach piano lessons out of my home because I make my own business hours...something I wouldn't be able to do if I worked a standard 9-5.
