I love that generational thing. I'm ready for the first batch to start sprogging me out some second generations.

That says SO much about your business.

The same with my 17 yo. She comes at least once a week for dinner, still goes camping with us. She is so good with the littles.

I started watching C when he was six weeks, and stopped when I moved away, and he was 11 years.

There were others that all grew up with him, but they started coming when they were four, and stopped at age 11-12.

Oh..and I have had kids, of kids I watched when they were little. I have a three year old now, who's mom was one of my first kids ever.

I had a boy about 6 yrs ago, that I watched his mom. She was friends with my daughters in grade school.

I didn't start until 2/28/09 but I still have 2 of the kids that started in '09! One was 9 months old when he started and the other was 7 weeks old!

There is no market here for before and after school care as all of the schools have a program on site, but I do have kids that come back for the occasional day here and there when there's no school program. They normally come until they are 10 or 11, but I don't charge them for it when they're here, I just enjoy seeing them. I do keep in touch with several of the families that have moved on, the oldest kids are 16 now, as that's how long I've lived here.
