I am due with my first child in at the beginning of August
I operate my daycare full time Monday-Friday 6:00am-5:30pm. I have told parents I am only taking 2 weeks off because financially I can't afford to take anymore nor do I want to leave parents without child care. I have 3 out of the 5 families actually leaving me when I have the baby because their children are starting preschool, so I will still have 2 full time children but financially I wont be able to pay my part of the bills with only them. I am been applying to jobs but I am afraid me being pregnant is what's scaring people away? How long did you take off for maternity leave? How hard was it going back to daycare with your own newborn? How many children did/do you care for for your own baby? I am just wondering how much I am really going to be able to handle with my own child. I care for 6 children a day now so I am very experienced, just have a feeling its going to completely different when I ad my own into the mix.
