    Thumbs up Update- childcare business

    Hi! Several of you have PMed me to ask how the babysitting is going so I thought I would post and give an update.

    First I discovered I qualify for a self-enployment grant through Unemployment. They offer many services such as accountants, printing facilities and a continuation of your benefits for the first 12 months of your business. Hooray -- makes it much easier to get started out!

    I ran an ad in the local paper and got a couple of part time kids from it. I am watching my neighbor's kids as well. I also posted on the local hospital employees website with my ad, as well as a couple of the local telemarketing places. I am trading childcare for a pickup of my kids from school with a mom who is a good friend and just needs a couple of hours of care twice a week.

    Things seem to be taking off. And the funny thing is, many of ou told me that company would call me back that I had interviewed with. Well they did and offered me more money, but it was still far less tahn I am making with the business once you subtract the childcare expenses.

    Hooray! It rocks to be home with my kiddos!

    Congrats on everything falling into place. I am able to do some of my work from home and I really like being home with my kids as much as I can. I am really happy for you.
