[quote=Anonymous]Lately its been a pipe dream of mine to start an in home daycare in a few years when my children all become school age.  Right now they are all in daycare because we can't afford to not have me working, but in four years, we'll be in a much different financial situation and that was when I'd was thinking of opening a small in home daycare.  I really like the idea of taking care of 1 (at most 2) young children, and I like the fact that it'll allow me to be home basically whenever my children aren't at school.  Ladies, please give me a reality check.  
-- I am well educated (have a masters degree in engineering, have been working as a senior level engineering staff for 10+ years) and have a nice enough home in a good location (a townhouse in Clarendon, very close to several parks).  Our living room would be the area I would keep any children I would be taking care of.
-- I would get licensed by the county.  
-- I probably wouldn't be very expensive (whatever market is now I guess), and would offer healthy/homemade lunches/snacks to any older children.
-- I'd have insurance/whatever liability coverage is recommended for an in home daycare provider. 
-- I have three kids, but no experience taking care of children other than my own.  I'm sure I would have excellent references, but not from anyone who knows about my capacity to care for children other than my own. 
Would you consider me for childcare? [/quote]
