I turned 24 in November. Not sure if I'll still be doing this in my 70's though!! ::

When I first started daycare I had a dcp ask me "How long do you think you are going to be doing daycare?" My reply was "I will probably be doing this when the dck's call me Granny." Well, guess what my dck's call me?:: I will be 60 on the 24th of this month. I think I have a good 10 more years in me.

One of the best ladies I ever worked with in child care was 70 and had worked at that center for 30 years!

I started my business when I was 26, when my oldest was just 6 weeks old. In some ways that seems like yesterday! Boy have I learned a lot & most of it the hard way! :::::: Wish I had this forum back then!

I'll be 60 this summer. I've been doing this for 2 years this month, and I know it's made me younger. I had bad knees when I started, I sort of plunked to sit in the floor and getting up required holding onto a chair. It was not a pretty sight. Now, I'm up and down like I'm 17 again.

Edited to answer the kid question. I don't have any kids, but I have 3 step kids. They are 47, 45, and 42. My great-grandson is 5.

Do any of you NOT have kids of your own? or am I the only one?

You could post a poll asking what age ranges providers kids are in and IF they have any at all.

25. I am most definitely younger than my dcps. But I have an 8 year old and a three year old that I grew up quick for

Alot of my parents are my age (40's) but have children in the age range of 2-5 for the youngest child and the oldest in their late teen's, early 20's!

Some though didn't start their families till mid-30's and the oldest is 10, youngest is 4.
