[quote=Anonymous]It depends. As a mother of school age kids i am going to assume you will want time off when they are home on school vacations and over the summer. With a home daycare you really can't take much time off. Our provider only take off 1 weeks a year. I work a regular job and get 4 weeks a year. not to mention all the other benefits. I also can't imagine that you would make nearly enough money if you currently have to work to support your family. Home daycares don't make much. With only 2 kids you'd may get $600/week total and that is before taxes. Personally i prefer my child at a daycare with a few more kids. Unless you really love taking care of kids I can't see it as a job you'd want to do. Also keep in mind that caring for other's kids is a LOT different than caring for your own. I love my child more than anything, but in general I really don't like kids and the though of working at a daycare make me want to hit my head against a wall.[/quote]
