Or woud the parents have to supply food? We pay $30 and that includes 2 meals plus snacks. Just something else to think about. You have lots of stay-at-home mom friends who would supply the adult conversation, plus you can still use your teaching skills with the daycare kids.Anabellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10520355028957332439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8725239262999439046.post-2722479262293771112010-04-12T17:22:13.501-07:002010-04-12T17:22:13.501-07:00I don't even know you- I found your blog throu...I don't even know you- I found your blog through the bunchkins... But I have twins and I just made the decision to leave the classroom. YIKES!! I took a job teaching for a University on-line. I can work in the evenings and weekends so we don't have to pay for childcare. As teachers, we can have so much more flexibility than a traditional "district" job can offer. It's scary, but totally worth it!!! You go girl!!Annabellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02834089469564955604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8725239262999439046.post-66169623814365106472010-04-12T14:48:07.313-07:002010-04-12T14:48:07.313-07:00Wow.

Running a childcare of your own seems like a good idea, especially since you could be with your kids. I don't know anything about actually doing it though, so I am really no help. Sorry! I hope you get it all figured out!Sonorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14157673100145462827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8725239262999439046.post-51472699797637910842010-04-12T14:35:43.687-07:002010-04-12T14:35:43.687-07:00Oh BeeJai, I feel your pain.

I've often thought the same thing....then again, I often think of lots of things I never follow through with!Amihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14644692697515016809noreply@blogger.com
