Starting a home daycare was the best decision I could have made!

As a new mother, I couldn’t fathom the idea of leaving my newborn in the care of a stranger—especially not for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Every day of my maternity leave was filled with an emotional battle like none I’ve ever experienced before. Just the idea of leaving my child with a sitter caused great anxiety.

For those who were fortunate enough to have a wonderful sitter—one that was loving, kind, and nurturing, one that provided a safe haven away from home, you may not understand my fears and may even consider them unrealistic.

But for those of you who are the product of babysitters gone array, you’ll not only understand my fears but empathize and want to do everything humanly possible to protect your newborn. You’ll consider buying or renting a smaller place, you’ll opt for swing shifts that allow you to work while your husband and baby are sound asleep, and you’ll agree to give up little luxuries like eating out or getting your nails done—anything that allows you to keep your child safe. The problem for me was that my husband worked rotating day/night shifts which made it impossible to find another job. Besides, even if I was able to find another job, I’d miss out on watching my husband and son bond.

They say you can’t have your cake and the icing too, but I was determined to prove them wrong. I was determined to have it all and thanks to my sister-in-law’s need for a sitter, I stumbled upon an idea that had never occurred to me before—to become a licensed in-home daycare provider.

And it was truly a rewarding experience.

Ebook Review

I recently purchased your Daycare e-book and have found it
EXTREMELY thorough, thoughtful, and useful! I thank you
for compiling all of these things into one great place!
-- Kristin Nunnelley, 2011

I was there for all of my son's firsts. I was there for all of my daughter's firsts. I was able to do things with my children that my single, three jobs-at-a-time, mother could only dream of doing. And the icing on the cake was that I was able to make a little extra money doing it.

Instead of losing my income, I supplemented my husband's income and gained a few tax write offs in the process. In a traditional job, every penny you earn is taxed. But as a business owner, you get to write off things like: food, diapers, wipes, cleaning supplies, children's videos, toys, bicycles, strollers, and so much more! And you even get to write off part of your rent or mortgage, depending on what part of the house you use for your business and how much of it you use.

Through trial and error I learned the ropes necessary to succeed as a home childcare operator. And thanks to my schooling in paralegal studies and business administration, I was able to develop forms that helped protect my business.

My home daycare business was there for me when I needed it and I have no regrets. I can't express enough how truly rewarding it was to be able to stay home with my children, to continue to make a living, and to give parents something I knew they desperately wanted for their own kids—a loving, safe place to have fun.

I found the daycare book to be an excellent resource because you cover
every aspect of the business and provide fantastic easy-to-use forms.

START YOUR HOME DAYCARE BUSINESS THIS MONTH!

Seriously, if you're tired of leaving your little one in the care of someone else, need the money to help meet your financial obligations, and don't want to sell a product, do home parties, or work a business that requires you to take more time away from your children, then running a home daycare business is the solution you've been waiting for! You literally have nothing to lose by starting a home daycare business.

The start-up costs are relatively low and you already have the perfect location—your home. You could even give your new business idea a test run while on maternity leave. If, after your maternity leave is up, you decide watching other people's children isn't for you, you could easily return to your normal day job. But if you discover it's the perfect solution you won't lose out on your income because you'll have already replaced it!

I heard about your website while attending a class for [daycare] licensing.
The information you provide is priceless!!! Your e-book gave me
so many ideas and actually helped me prepare for interviews with
parents and their little ones. The forms and lists to get started are
marvelous!... I've already mentioned your website to a friend who is
a daycare provider and will continue to refer people to your site.

Daycare E-Book Reviews

I have been researching opening a childcare facility since January [received testimony August] and it would have been a lot easier if I found your website then. You have put all the information needed to start a childcare business in one lump file. The contact information you have for licensing, fundraising, etc., is wonderful.
-- Angel Gollahon from Eureka, Montana

I ordered a copy of your [daycare] e-book a few days ago, and it has already helped me tremendously in preparing to open my [daycare] center. I must say you have done such a fantastic job compiling this e-book for those of us looking to open our own childcare facility, and I am eternally grateful for the help it has been to me.
-- Becky Zelinski from Liberty Hill, Texas

I was planning on running a large daycare, but opted to watch a few children instead, [starting a small home daycare]... It seemed like Alyice knew exactly where I was coming from, being a wife and mother of small children of my own. I purchased the e-book two years ago and still reference it. It's a really great book.
-- Amy Schwartztrauber

I heard about your book from my daycare child development class instructor.
-- Donna, Connecticut

I heard about your daycare book at my childcare orientation. Great Job.
-- R.B.

Your daycare book gives a lot of info... to make sure you are ready to make the commitment. I now know I am. In my hometown, childcare runs $160 a week for one infant... I could easily make more than $500 a week!
-- Candice Carter, Kansas City, MO.

This includes all the information one needs to make an in-home daycare business a success! And as if the information, forms, and resources weren't enough, the press releases are sure to gain some free publicity!
-- N.S., Bellflower, CA

I just wanted to say your information package is very helpful. It is getting me off to a good start...on figuring out what to do to open my home daycare. Thank you for your great [daycare] guide!
-- Cindy LeDuc, Connecticut

This is the most complete, comprehensive resource on running and operating a home daycare. I especially love the fundraising ideas! This is the only book you will ever need!
-- Mrs. Miller, Wisconsin

Thank you so much for such a wonderful book!! It is truly a GREAT help.
-- Nicole

I have been reading the daycare e-book all morning... great information.
Follow-up message: Thanks A Million is not even enough. Your daycare book helped me so much.

I was a licensed daycare provider for over a year. If I had a book like this when I first started, I probably wouldn't have quit! I would have been more organized and structured! It's worth more than the $9.99 you're selling it for!
-- Ms. Virginia, East Meadows, NY
