In home family child care?
| Wed, 06-16-2004 - 5:34pm |
Hi everyone, I wanted to ask you my husband and I have been talking about the job situation after we have our first child. We aren't pregnant now but plan on starting to try this next year. I personally don't want to go back to work full time, I work at a bank, after I have a kid. Do any of you do in home child care and/or know anyone that does? How is it for you? Has it worked out ok having a new baby and taking care of other children? I still want to be able to make some money and provide financially I just don't want my kid in a daycare all day to do that and throw almost half of it into the cost of childcare. I thought this is possibly a good alternative? Opinions please. Thanks

Hi, welcome to the board.
I do in home childcare but during summer only have my two nephews. During the school year I have pre-schoolers and teach reading and pre-k basics. Just a few tips are, I would not take any more baby's. It is just my opinion but if my baby is crying and so is little johnny

This is really up to you.
Do you want to bond with your child and other children at the same time?
Do you like other people's children?
This is the hard questions: can you wipe other kids butts? That may seem wierd, but I know I can't.
I love my nephew, but always hate taking him to the bathroom! LOL! :-) Some people are great at it and it doesn't bother them! They are wonderful! I love children, but I would just rather spend
