Home Childcare and Holiday Time

This time of year is tough for a lot of parents as the kids are out of school and finding someone to watch over them may be difficult. This is an opportunity for many home childcare providers to make a little extra money helping out their neighbors with 6-10 year old children. Some childcare providers may not carry the maximum allowed by their home state and may be able to take on extra children during this period.

This kind of service is very much appreciated by parents as the big childcares in the area probably charge a heavy fee for weekly drop-ins. Even though making a profit is the reason for running a business, it takes love and caring to develop a good relationship between children and their parents. Learn to own your own Home Childcare

Home Childcare Business and You

Starting a small childcare in the comfort of your home is a great way to bring an income into your life without the hassles of job interviews and the drama of office politics. All it really takes is a love of children and a need of money. It also helps if you hate working for someone else. Most people don't like to be told what to do and when to do it. And looking at your paycheck is a great reminder of how much you are underpaid for your work. When you work for yourself, you set your own pay scale.

A great love of children is something that you need in a home childcare business. This comes natural for most people or you would not have children of your own (assumung that you have kids). Children need a positive role model since their own parents are working so much and their love and respect for you is something that will last for years. My wife and i often run into teenagers that we used to care for 10 or 12 years ago who are elated when they see us. This is truly a great feeling!

When establishing your childcare rates, it is best to research the childcares in your neighborhood and charge a little less than they do. This usually keeps us at our maximim of 6 children that the state of Georgia lets us have. We also have two afterschoolers for a couple of hours everyday. They are easy to look after since they do homework and study most of the time. And because of this business we can spend more time with our own children. This is a very rewarding business to be in.
