Umm...
So we absolutely loved our day care lady diane. Sterling adored her. But today he came home with a new outlook. He pretty much told me that she said that she thought she had mason figured out "At first I thought he was kind of shy and slow but I think he is just defiant when he doesn't listen. **crickets** minus the fluff... She just said she thought OUR son, who just so happens to know 5 words in sign language and is talking in sentences at 2! YOU don't say something like that to a parent. Just before Sterling told me this, he said "I really think you should put an ad to teach kids online".
If you have read my previous post... Kids are my passion. I absolutely adore and love seeing little kids learn and expand their horizons. Unfortunately, Child care centers pay about 8-9 an hour. Which doesn't cut when you have to pay for child care your self.
I had an interview with country wide, and Im pretty sure I got the job in the bag. This job is 11 bucks an hour (2.50 pay cut from my previous job) but with fabulous benefits. Of corse the benefits are the REAL reason I would take such a huge pay check and not look for my other options, which with the economy really is slim pickens.
With his statement earlier, I think I am willing to try and run a LEARNING CENTER out of our home. I say LEARNING CENTER because it wouldn't just be baby sitting, the kids would be learning and interacting as if they were in a day care. On top of that I know from personal experience that the rates I would require would be at least a 1/3 of what you would have to pay at a regular day care. And personally I would rather have some I knew and trusted watch my beautiful boys instead of someone "going to work". Not to say that people at day care don't love their job (Because I was once one of the few that absolutely loved "going to work" when I worked at Childrens World. NEVER a day that I didn't want to go to work, it was an escape for me, the children were bliss.)
With all this said, I am leaving a little gap to see if there are any possible families that would want to take me up on my offer. Friends = Family. And thats EXACTLY the kind of care I would give. If you know of anyone who may be interested. Please pass my number or email off to them. THANKS!

my hubby worked at countrywide. they do have good benefits, but he got out just before the market slumped several years ago. it was a good thing too! if you want to ask him some questions about it, call him at work. 602.387.2099 Now, he's at University of Phoenix. He's been there 3 years and is still trucking along. Starting pay for an enrollment counselor is $33,000 a year. which is pretty decent. we've managed on that one income. anyway, give him a call and chat! 602.387.2099
