melskids - sounds great to me! I'm hoping with my qualifications and experience that it will help me out a lot. I also liked nannyse idea about making it into a preschool daycare. We also live in a very nice, quiet neighborhood on a cul-de-sac with a nice yard. Set far back from the road. I'm hoping that this will help as well, but who knows. Either way I would be doing this after I have my first baby. And I'm wicked nervous about that! I don't know if I should just hire an assistant right off the bat or what. Totally stumped! I know this is still a ways off but I really want to have it all planned out well in advance! I'm glad you're doing so great! That's makes me hopeful!
