It’s just such a high demand in the area but people see home daycares as a low ratio I feel in my experience.
What do y’all think?
My sweet spot is 5 kids, and I would prefer 5 infants, but my state won't allow it. That being said, me caring for 5 babies is a lot different when you add in another adult and five more babies. I know your own child is 2, but that is an age that requires just as much, if not more attention, so I would really sit down and think about whether, your toddler can handle that many babies in their home.

I think it sounds like a lot, but it really would depend on how great your assistant is...and they would have to be exceptional, so I hope you pay well! Lol
