Thank you all for your replies. I think some of my concerns were addressed. The issue of having my 2 year old son home with me does potentially present some challenges and I appreciate your honesty. My other biggest concern is the lack of adult interaction and feeling confined to my house. As much as I love my house, as a current stay at home mom, we are very rarely ever at home! I like to be out and about. We go to the gym (where they have very affordable child care!) We go for daily walks, trips to the playground, lake, etc. I know I could still take my children for daily walks and trips to the playground, but it would be a lot more challenging with 3 or more! I'm not sure driving anywhere would be an option unless I bought a van that could accommodate everyone. I know word of mouth advertising is the best, but I'm just wondering how many of you have found new families from this site? As thankful as I am to have found this site, my recent experience with Mr. Beebs (a scammer) has left me feeling uneasy about posting so much personal information about myself on the internet. I have 2 new questions. What sort of additional insurance is required and is the ratio in Ontario 5 children including your own or excluding your own. As always, I welcome your feedback.
