Child Care Provider

Children sitting in a group

Providing child care to children in your home is a good option for anyone who loves children and has experience taking care of them. This is an especially great job for mothers because they can stay home with their own kids.

What You Will Need to Get Started   How Much Can I Make?
  

 
Certification

  • All states require special certifications and licenses if you are caring for children outside of your family. Some states will allow you to care for a limited number of children without being certified (usually no more than 2).
  • Certification usually requires classroom learning, an inspection of your home and a certification fee. Learn the laws in your area.
Other Costs
  • You will need to buy enough toys and activities (crayons, construction paper, coloring books, etc.) to keep the children occupied all day.
  • You will need to spend some money on your home to make it safe according to local laws.
  • You will need to get insurance to protect yourself if a child is hurt in your home.
  • It is also recommended that you look into forming a business entity such as a Limited Liability Company (LLC). This will also limit your liability in case of an accident.

 

  • The answer to this question varies greatly depending on location, ages of the children and services offered (for instance, do you provide food for the children?).  Rates usually range from $25 to $100 a day per child.  This is a very lucrative business.
