Why childcare?

Why did you become a childcare provider? Are you generating enough income to satisfy your needs and wants? How much do you spend each month to enhance your business?

I was in childcare for 25 years. I started way back so my oldest could have a playmate...then I raised a family of five kids as a single mom years later. Yes you make very decent money as a provider. I kept my expenses tight but that's because I went to yard sales and so many parents gave me their hand me down clothes and toys, I was very fortunate. Arts and craft supplies are inexpensive to get. Use all your left over ribbons and tissue paper and wrapping papers. Keep all your cards and cut the backs off they make great callages and art work. Be creative and keep it simple...the children love being creative and use their imagination. have fun!
