[quote=Anonymous]Given your background, I would consider using you as a childcare provider. My only concern about having your daughter there is that there is a backup plan for when she gets sick, which it sounds like you have. Also, I would not be okay with you running errands while providing care. Some other things I would look for: 1.) Adequate toys and space for the kids to move around when they can't go outside 2.) A daily schedule that includes daily storytime, outdoor play, music and possibly art. 3.) Well balanced meals (prepared ahead of time if you're solo) 4.) A clean, safe house 4.) A playground or public library within walking distance and flexible hours would also be great. Assuming you have a good driving record and a safe way of transporting the children, I also would be fine with field trips (the zoo, pool, library, etc.) that require driving. [/quote]
