支持楼主的想法, Family Child Car(daycare) 这应该是比较最可行的,
我们社区(在大温区)有个daycare,办的蛮好的, 我也常帮客户找 照顾小孩的机构, 常常是满额. 依您有教师资格与经验及喜欢小孩, 只要认真去做,一定会成功. 自己小孩在里面也是很合理的 !!
收入也合理:小孩数目有规定(约是5名 x $800/月=$4000/月) 每周 $200 (5天, 8hrs/天 ), 收费可参考您住的城市, 网上 Google 查就会有了.
ex: Google " your-city-name Childcare provider"
不包食物及饮品, 可提供cookies,饮水, 刚开始可收临时以2~3天的小孩,
但要先具备一些要求:
***当然要讲英文 (不能只收华人小孩, 要像西人方式经营 !!)
1] Applying for a licence (请查您该城市的规定)
2] Facility Requirements (一般是 House 才符合)
Furniture, equipment and fixtures,
Play area, materials and equipment
ex:
(1) A licensee, other than a licensee who provides a care program described as Family Child Care or Child-minding, must have for each child at least 3.7 m2 of usable floor area in the community care facility, excluding (a) hallways,
(b) built in storage areas,
(c) bathrooms, and
(d) fixed appliances, or, if not fixed, large appliances that are not normally moved from one area to another.
(2) A licensee must have one toilet and wash basin for every 10 children or fewer.
(3) A licensee, other than a licensee who provides a care program described as Family Child Care or In-Home Multi-Age Child Care, must ensure that the toilets and wash basins referred to in subsection (2) are on the same floor as the community care facility.
(4) A licensee, other than a licensee who provides a care program described as either Preschool (30 Months to School Age) or Group Child Care (School Age), must have in a community care facility a sturdy surface for changing diapers, located outside the food preparation area, next to both
(a) a covered container for soiled clothing, and
(b) a wash basin.
3]Emergency training and equipment, First aid

现在有食物过敏的孩子越来越多了， 是必须要注意的。
偶作为新移民，也麽有足够资金支持。我想着march break 先试验试验，估计March Break 生源多一些，孩子放假家长们都上班，孩子也需要有人带。
