The closer i get to actually having a permit and starting, the more nervous i am getting as to if i can and should really be starting this! Maybe its good i am seriously thinking through it, maybe im just scared ill mess something up. Its normal right? Guess i just need some encouragment today.

Totally normal. It is like any other job, you get nervous when you first start out. You'll do fine and soon you'll know if this is the right career path for you and your family.

The beauty with starting a daycare is that typically you start small. Get the feel for things, and then decide about how many kids is a good number for your group. I'm at 7 right now and I think I'm done adding to my group. I don't want the 12 that I'm allowed!
Just take it step by step and that anxiety will go away.

I should have the permit in the next week or two... and the only kid i have to add right now is my one year old niece. Shes with another daycare on DHS support which is why im going to the trouble of getting the STAR qualifications in the first place. So i will be starting out small, since i have three of my own aleady!"God said, ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart. He will do everything I want him to do.'"

pre daycare jitters are completely normal. I would be lying if I said I am still not nervous and have been registered since August. You will do great!Comment

I have been daycare for 22 years and still get nervous before starting any
new family. I get nervous because I do not know for sure how things will
be with the new family. So your feelings right now are compeltely
normal.Comment

Same!
@ Dave -- I totally understand. Began the whole process in February and finally found our location for our center. Each time we get closer, I get those butterflies! My guess is that you will be absolutely fine just like some of the other good people said here. Good luck!
