Profit By Providing Home Based Child Care Services
How can you profit from the boom in child care services? Here
are a few suggestions.
1. Provide Child Care from Your Home
Would you like to provide child care services from your own
home? If so, here is some advice obtained from an experienced
child care provider:
-There may be laws in your area that limit the number of
children (other than your own) that you can care for from your
home. It could be just five or six children.
-Don't do half days. If someone drops their child off just for
the morning and someone else drops their child off just for the
afternoon, it still ties you down all day.
-If you're going to be tied down all day, you might as well get
paid for it. Charge for full days and full weeks.
-Keep in mind that with a limit to the number of children you
can legally care for from your home, accepting a child just on
Wednesdays will mean that you are not able to take another child
from Monday to Friday (because then you'll have one child too
many on Wednesdays). This limits your income.
-Be extremely safety conscious. Children are precious.
-You really must love children to successfully provide child
care services from your home.
-Structure
and routine are very important. Keep to a schedule of
regular nap and meal times for the children.
2. Provide Value-Added Child Care
You can add value to your home based child care services. In
this way, you will be able to set yourself apart from your
competition and charge higher fees.
If you live on a farm, you might offer horseback riding
instruction.
Could you offer a sports camp, craft classes, music lessons,
computer training or other activities for children?
3. Run a Home Based Child Care Referral Service
Another way to profit from the boom in child care services is to
operate a child care referral service.
Advertise to find child care workers and babysitters. Screen and
interview them. Then, provide parents with suitable matches for
a fee.
These are just a few ways that you, too, can profit from running
a home based child care business.
