She loves kids, and they had 4, she stayed home watching them. As they got to middle school age she started watching friends kids and got licensed to do an in home day care.

He got to when he wanted to retire ( he was 62, she is 10 years younger ) and he talked to his wife, she was perfectly happy with him retired. They now watch more kids due to having a second person there. She still loves kids and they make more now than when he worked and he was the manager of an electrical contractor.

It has been going on for a few years now and I told a single mom friend of mine about it and she loves kids. She now watches 3 or 4 iirc and makes twice what she did when working.

So for a woman who loves kids, it might be a great option. Please it opens other spots for more day care options.
