How hard is it . . .

To make about $200 a week with an in home daycare? I am licensed already in the state of Michigan, but I currently do not have any children.

It does not really mean you will have children before you stand out. Hence you are licensed, go ahead do create awareness through advertising on local news papers and distributing of hand bills. This can help you start when you got the first 3 to 5 children.
good luck
Hope this helps

Not sure about Missouri but in CA you should only have to have 2 kids to gross $200 per week. Net is another story. Try the business forms at http://www.supportingproviders.com/childcareforms1.htm
they have at least one for income computation.

I charge $100 a week for full-time slots and $70 a week for before and after school slots, so it just depends on what kind of care you wish to offer.
