Sorry if the title's confusing- not sure how to phrase it. I'm just typing out loud.

I was talking with my wife about some upcoming changes to my program (rates, openings/ child moving, etc.) and I realized I'm spread a bit thin. In addition to running the home daycare I run a craft business (bladesmithing) and teach CPR/ First Aid. The teaching pretty much is not an issue, but I need more time to devote to the craft business.

I was thinking about bringing in a sub every other Friday. It would give me more shop time, and cover me the few times a year I have to close on a Friday to go to a show. Financially it's a wash- the added expense would be pretty much offset by the increase in the bladesmithing $. If they came in twice a month I wouldn't exceed monthly maximum hours for a sub.

Does anybody have a regular sub come in so they can do something else?

Thanks
