[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

I am just getting a feel for things, so thank you for your insights. Yes, I do have experience with care for babies as a nanny (including twins). I haven't finalized any type of plan. Just curious about what is out there and what people are looking for.

I have always been very passionate about early childhood education and I miss it. Unfortunately most private preschool salaries aren't going to make paying for daycare for my own DD worth it. I'm hoping to come up with something that works for both potential families and me.

I appreciate any other comments about what you look for in a home daycare. [b]Do most people look for a larger group of children? I was thinking most people would prefer a smaller group with more individual care (I would), but maybe more people like a larger classroom-like environment. I am curious to hear more thoughts. [/b]

I get from the other PPs that it isn't so much they want more children, but they want a facility with more providers (and usually that means more children).

I'm only TTC, so I'm not sure my opinion matters.  But I have been researching daycare options (never too early to think about it).  And frankly, I would be very hesitant to go with an in-home provider, unless there was another care provider there (or, ideally, 2 additional adults).  It's not just about reliability/dependability, but it is also about checks and balances.

And I certainly would not go with an in-home daycare with one adult who was also watching her own child.  I just wouldn't be comfortable with that.
