I think she got certified through the local welfare office (DES in our state) but ended up watching kids of her friends. I think if you get certified then you can register with child care resources and try to get referrals that way? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-watch-other-kids-in-their-home#post-1063743 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 22:42:04 +0000 immabeetoo 1063743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Polish: Ah, gotcha. I wish something like that would happen organically! We just moved here though so I'm just barely meeting parent friends. Thanks :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-watch-other-kids-in-their-home#post-1063699 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 22:19:34 +0000 Mrs. Polish 1063699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: it's informal babysitting. I know the parents and we worked things out verbally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-watch-other-kids-in-their-home#post-1063692 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 22:16:27 +0000 immabeetoo 1063692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Polish: Ah yes I was trying to remember your username! Did you take out any insurance policies, do contracts, etc. or is it more informal? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-watch-other-kids-in-their-home#post-1063684 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 22:09:23 +0000 Mrs. Polish 1063684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do this, but I don't take the kids anywhere. We stay at my house. When I watched my brothers only I would take them places, but I don't feel comfortable doing it with other kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-watch-other-kids-in-their-home#post-1063680 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 22:06:59 +0000 Pepper 1063680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I end up being a SAHM (which is very likely), I'm going to watch my best friend's kid... once she has one. :) (it would be years down the road). We discussed this awhile back. I think it'd be good practice for having 2 of my own! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-watch-other-kids-in-their-home#post-1063673 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 21:58:59 +0000 Boheme 1063673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's what we are doing when I go back to work! She's a friend who is a SAHM to a 4 year old and a 9 month old. She charges $25 per day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-watch-other-kids-in-their-home#post-1063652 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 21:46:06 +0000 immabeetoo 1063652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've contemplated trying to find someone who is looking for part-time childcare one or two days a week. I think it would be fun to have another baby around for LO and a little extra $ wouldn't hurt. With only one other kid I feel like we could still go out and do stuff like we do with just the 2 of us (if the parent was okay with it).</p> <p>I'm concerned about liability issues..insurance issues... </p> <p>Has anyone posted about this before? I am having trouble finding much in the search. I know there was a thread before that sounded like people expected to pay about $25 a day for something like this? </p>
