[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You aren't starting an in-home daycare, you just want to babysit 1 or 2 kids. Don't tell people you are starting a "daycare". Just start putting the word out that you want to earn some extra cash and are available for babysitting before and after school and would consider infants (or whatever age you want).[/quote]

This is terrible advice. Even watching one child in her home makes her an in-home daycare. Since she is so passionate about children then she understands that’s a children’s health and safety are the priority which means being licensed. Licensing means the fire marshal comes to your home to make sure you have working smoke detectors, safe aggressive for the children. This does not off always mean one exit, it means being fingerprinted and having an FBI background check.

Depending on your state you can be fined and immediately shut down which puts your clients without care until you get a license.

You seem passionate and smart which tells me it will not be difficult for you to get a license and I might be mistaken but you do not always need a fence.[/quote]

It also means all people living in the house will be registered and background checked which is very important if the DH is working at home. It protects everyone.[/quote]

OP here. I agree with all of this, but I don't want to go through the process if I know I will fail because of the fence requirement. It definitely takes a particular person to even consider in-home. Another option is waiting until my kids are in school and finding a PT nanny job. I have also been thinking about going to school to become an esthetician. I would love to open up my spa at my house.
