I have 5 children (including my own 2)
DD - 5yo
DS - 3yo

5 kids
DCD - 5 (missed Kindy cut off)
DCB - 4
DCG - 4
DCB - 3
DCG - 2 (will be 3 next week)

I have a sub/assistant that comes typically twice a week for 3 hours/day. I share her with another provider so that we both have someone available if we need to take time off for whatever reason

I am licensed.

Are the regs different in different parts of the state?

According to my regs for Registered Texas home providers if you have 3 dcks under 17 months old, and 3 dcks between 18mo and 5 years, then you can only have 1 school age child for a total maximum of 7 children at anytime. Your own children count.

[SSWonders]

Licensed.
I currently have two 18 month olds (birthdays within two days of each other) and two just turned 3 year olds (birthdays within 3 weeks of each other).

I am licensed for 10. Enrollment has gone way down in the last few years. I have two infants that want in but I can't take both. I'm thinking of hiring my daughter, who is a nanny at the moment, to work with me and then we can take both infants. The financing of the whole thing would be an issue though. I just can't decide which way I want to go with the business.

I am legally unlicensed & have no assistant, though my husband helps when he gets home in late afternoon. My kids are: my own son( 3 next month), DCG( 2 in April), DCG(1in April), & starting next month DCB(2mos) Have had him on a retainer since mom was a few months pregnant. He attended in utero.

These numbers may change soon as my husband is considering going on disability & will be here full time, which means we can take in more kids. I'm legally allowed more; my own son is a spirited handful/ ball of mischievous energy though, so I didn't want to get in over my head with just me here.

Do you have an assistant?
Are you licensed?

I have 5 children (including my own 2)
DD - 5yo
DS - 3yo
DCG - 4 yo
DCB - 4 yo
DCB - 14 months

I do not have an assistant and I am legally unlicensed.

Licensed with 12 children and one assistant... 2-one yr olds, 2-two yr olds, 2-three yr olds, 6-four yr olds......my own two are school-age over 9 yrs old so they do not count in my ratio in my state.....my state only allows 4 children under the age of 24 months as well....15 maximum with at least 3 of those being school-age, but I do not do school-age other than my own....therefore 12 is my full capacity.
