Finally started researching my next career move. When I started this business it was a means to an end. I've always wanted to complete my college degree and pursue a career in Occupational Therapy specializing in helping children with Autism. I started this business because being a single mother who worked nights and went to school during the day was just not feasible. I never got quality time with her because I was always so exhausted. This move meant I would save money, spend time with her and be a strong force in her development. It has also proved to be financially stressful. I'm not making what I should be and while I am enjoying the time with dd, I find that the other kids and their parents and payment are just making it very hard to love this job. There are so many things I love about it and I am dedicated to making this the best FCC I can while I am doing it (I'm a perfectionist and dont half a$$ anything), I think I still need to go after my long term goal. Hopefully I can start this online program and slowly but surely get back on track. I'm looking at a 5-6 year plan here, once my dd starts school and also hopefully after any future kids are over the infant age
(Hoping to add to our family in the next year or so)
Wish me luck!

Wish me luck!
