Should I Do My Own Little Daycare At Home?

[Jero888]

I have my 2 toddlers at home, 3 yrs and 4 yrs, plus a 2 month old.

I need to make extra cash, so i am thinking real hard should i watch a few kids at my house?

I will treat it like it was real daycare, so parents don't take advantage of me. I'm from NJ. I see craigslist do it all the time. and times are going to get tougher and tougher for everyone, so childcare will have to be very, very affordable for parents, but has quality too.

Which i do not see anywhere by my way.

So what do you think, and how much should i charge? I really don't want to take infants like mine.

Are your toddlers 3 and 4 or do you have infants, toddlers, and preschoolers? You might have to get licensed depending on how many children you can watch because your own children do count.

I could not get the link from here to work, but I found it online.
