Hi,
I'm thinking of starting a daycare (would love another baby, and we need the money) out of my home in OR. How do you go about doing this? How formal does this need to be? Do I need to register my business with the state? Do I need to have my home inspected or anything? How do you pay taxes etc, and what do people do for insurance? I've never had my own business before, and am curious about getting started. I'd like to only take on 1 or 2 kids (have a 1yr old myself) to ensure adequate supervision & stimuli for kids. And of course, offer the kind of care I'd want for my own child, including AP, cloth diapers, breastmilk, interactive play (no TV). Do you provide your clients with a receipt every week/month?
Has anyone of you done this before?
What can be pitfalls?
What's the most important to keep in mind?
Thanks,
Miki
