[quote=Anonymous]OP, for one thing, Arlington won't allow you to start an in-home daycare out of a second home. That would obviously not be in your home and therefore does not qualify.  It sounds like you want to be a nanny/nanny-share for your children plus one or two others. You don't need a license for that, but I don't think you'd make more money doing that than you would just renting out your condo.

But also...I, personally, would not trust someone that is new to infant/toddler care with my baby. Most of the in-home daycares that I toured (and the ones I chose) were run by women who were former daycare workers or former nannies and none of them had school-aged children (at most they had teenagers who were rarely home). I didn't meet anyone who started their daycare solely because they wanted to stay home with their own children and I would not be comfortable sending my child to a place where the owner had young children.

I would also never send my child to someone who could not offer me several references. The women who do start their own in-homes have tons of references already because they've been taking care of children for years already. Being a school teacher, you may have parents who like you, but they're not references. And no, your friends don't count.

It sounds like you haven't thought this through at all, but no, it's a terrible idea and not legal, anyway.[/quote]
