My girlfriend had been working for the county when she decided to open up a daycare center in her home. The hours she worked for the county were night time hours and she only worked part time. Because she had all the necessary daycare items like childrens furniture and plenty of room her small daycare was a huge success. She said that if she keeps building her business that she will probably do the daycare full time and even open up a second location. I like her thinking because she will be making a lot more money working for herself as opposed to working for the county.
