Hello,

My wife and I have been putting some serious consideration into opening up our own nighshift/overnight daycare. We both currently work in the medical field and she has experience with respite care.

I wanted to get some peoples opinions about how realistically a business model that catered solely (initially at least) to overnight care. I have tried to search my local are (Seattle) and it's nearly impossible to find anything like this. It appears there may be an unmet need for some overnight childcare in our area (Seattle). We would cater to 6-12 year old primarily, and offer drop off and pickup times of 5 PM to 9 AM.

Does this sound like a reasonable goal or a pipe dream?

What should we reasonably expect in terms of payment for an overnight stay?

Anyone with any experience have any words of wisdom to the uninitiated?

Thank you,

James and Lindsey
