A [Real + Full] Day in the Life of a Home Daycare Provider | Behind the Scenes

[@its_pouring_reign5422]

Mom of 8 here and I’m just here to give you props because you really did that! I’m so impressed by your attitude and it’s reflected in the kids behaviors. Lord when I heard the little boy say “Blessed and highly favored “ with such joy, I got chills!! Thank you for loving these babies like you do but most importantly for reminding them who they are in Jesus❤

[@MyDaycareCoach]

@@its_pouring_reign5422 thank you! attitude is everything and it’s my true passion.

I'm not a daycare provider but a mom of littles who plan to homeschool and possible help other mommies with their littles who have to work ...THIS truly blessed and was soo encouraging to watch ! Thanks for all you do

[@MyDaycareCoach]

Ohhh, I love to hear it! Please go for it! Keep me updated. Also, you may want to look into microschools if you want to serve your community as well.

Thank you. I have been interested in starting a home daycare after retirement. You gave very good advice in your other video. I am happy to see how your average day goes. Again thanks.

awesome- I'm glad you were able to gain some insight. Not only is this a lucrative business where you can comfortably sustain yourself, but as a retiree, you get to enjoy being retired :)

I really like how clean and organized you are. The only thing I wanted to mention is that mixing chemicals and using bleach sort of threw me off. I know you have to sanitize, which I am with 100 percent. However, there are safer cleaners that you can use. Just a thought❤

[@MyDaycareCoach]

Thank you for watching and good eye. I understand your standpoint about mixing chemicals. If you noticed, in the beginning I used Clorox in a jug by itself. And after lunch, I used Clorox in a spray bottle followed by a plant based cleaning product. The Clorox in the spray bottle is significantly less concentrated than the Clorox in the jug thus preventing chemical reactions. Also, we have fresh air circulating in addition to an air purifier in the center. I do agree that there are more eco friendly products to use but with my experience, nothing beats germs more than Clorox.

[@BeautyAndHealth101]

It is my very first time coming across your channel. Thank you so much for sharing what a typical day looks like. I do have a question!. :Who is your main clientele? Are they single moms, moms who just want some extra learning and fun activity for their kids. . . Parents who need a day off, etc. I have been researching lots about day cares and have seen that almost every single one of them start at 6.am. and close at 6.p.m, due to parents working long hours. I was surprised to see you started at 8 and ended the day at 5. I didn't really see that as an option because I did not think it to be possible. . .

[@MyDaycareCoach]

Thank you for watching and that's a great question. My main clientele is the average working family. 8:00am-5:00pm works great for my family as a home daycare provider because the burnout can be real. To avoid that, I curated my hours of operation to reflect personal time with my family which is super important to me! I think as you open a home daycare business, you figure out what works for the families you serve and adjust accordingly :)

[@Nicoleandjohnson]

I love this so much! Great job

Hi, we wear the green socks as a sanitary compliance being that we are a shoe-free center.

Also each daycare center and provider is different keep in mind that she's operating out of her home so home and daycare centers are two completely different regulations.

[@Heyhastings]

I’ve done home daycare for a few years. I was considering reopening and adding in the homeschool group as my kids are older now. Any suggestions for nap time with full time school age kids? :)

[@MyDaycareCoach]

That would be great and it benefits you and your children. Nap time for school-agers? If they nap, then they nap but if they don’t, I would delegate 1 on 1 time for them or give them “special activities” they can do that they may not normally be able to do in the presence of a toddler. This may include working with real tools, small beads, glass objects, etc.

[@Heyhastings]

@@MyDaycareCoach yes sorry that’s what I meant, how to have the two age groups at the same time and separating the orders during nap time :)

[@jenross37]

Great video! You can’t tell my kid a quesadilla isn’t a cheese taco. Taco Tuesday is on point.

[@MyDaycareCoach]

Hahaha thank you. Tacos, quesadillas, nachos, we love them all.

[@15thparadox66]

do you make them pray or do they have the option to just start eating

[@MyDaycareCoach]

The children aren't forced to participate in any activity at the center.

[@ninaG-u6k]

Where do you get your lesson plans and activities ideals from ?

[@MyDaycareCoach]

I create my lesson plans based on my enrolled children- this helps make it more fun and concepts easier to grasp because they have a genuine interest for them.

What app do you use to talk with parents and what apps do you use to manage your business?

[@kristineannnieva6]

Hi Do you need to be a licensed teacher to open up a home day care? How do get a program what to teach children based on their age? Im a licensed nurse but no longer practicing..im currently in the corporate world but is contemplating opening up a home day care so i can stay at home with my kids and at the same time earn a living and do my own business though im here in the philippines..however, there's not much of information here as home day cares are not common here but there is growing market of working parents seeking trustworthy care givers who can take care of their kids so they can work.

[@MyDaycareCoach]

You do not need to be a certified teacher to open a daycare; based on your state/ province, there are various requirements. There are numerous curriculum options to choose from that have lesson plans you can follow or create :)

[@kristineannnieva6]

Thats good to know though I have to do my own research and probaby coordinate with various government agencies in my area to get the appropriate licensing and trainings..thanks so much for your reply 😊

[@jailynteemer]

would you recommend becoming a daycare owner, if so, why?

[@MyDaycareCoach]

It’s less of becoming a daycare owner and more of a quality provider for children…you have to not only be dedicated and committed but your energy has to match with the children or it’ll feel like a very stressful job. And I wouldn’t recommend staying at a stressful job lol. If you love kids and are willing to continuously educate yourself on them, it’s amazing.

The app that allows parents to message you and let you know when kids aren't coming due to them being sick or whatever.

[@MyDaycareCoach]

@@Foleytwin we use Brightwheel. But they also have other ones equally as user friendly such as HiMama, Tadpoles, etc.

[@Foleytwin]

@MyDaycareCoach wow I didn't think you would respond, thank you.. Do you know the zoning for residence childcare centers..if you own a home can you automatically have a home childcare center??

[@MyDaycareCoach]

@@Foleytwin you’re very welcome. each state or province is different so you would have to check with you local municipality.

[@queencamilleboutique3035]

How do home daycare get paid from the government?

[@MyDaycareCoach]

You don’t get paid from the government. However, if a family you serve receives childcare assistance (scholarships/vouchers), that may cover a portion or all of tuition. Then the State will cover that child’s tuition or portion and pay that to you as the provider.

[@MoonMystic-b6k]

As long as no child is getting abused its always great and i pray this is the case here. Me personally i would never be wearing headphones cleaning while kids are in a seperate room with no supervision not every kid has the same personality, we dont know what goes on at home so i just would never risk it by wearing earphones.

[@MyDaycareCoach]

First, let me correct you on all your assumptions because not only are they incorrect, offensive and untrue but it’s almost as if you didn’t even watch the video. Please watch it again and feel free to edit your comment. All children are supervised and in eye sight at ALL times (on camera and off camera).

[@MoonMystic-b6k]

@@MyDaycareCoach I really don't care what's offensive to you, my main concern is that the children are watched over and supervised. So if I'm hearing you correctly were you cleaning with chemicals near the children so you could see them "off camera" it's confusing because the whole time you were cleaning listening to music I didn't see you one time check on the or look at any tablet/camera to check on them 🤔 it's no reason to take offense especially if your confident the kids are watched over but I guess I hit a nerve. This video is for (show) my apologies.

[@MyDaycareCoach]

Thanks for your feedback and for watching.

[@8786Was]

What’s wrong with you, my goodness

[@ccb.8603]

But how do you know that she was actually listening to it. I agree with the original poster you did not watch a video completely you just made assumptions if you watch the video thoroughly, you can see that she's attentive to the children! As for you as a complete stranger to write that you don't care if it's offensive I actually do care it comes offensive and very ignorant 🙄
