If anyone replies and is in the 71-80 group I say we nominate them as provider of the year!

Holy buckets! I couldn't imagine dealing with some of the stuff we deal with regularly at that age.

I know a lot of older people are pretty spry physically...I meant mentally as I KNOW I grow less tolerable as I age.

Well, maybe not less tolerable but more outspoken about things that pee me off and if I spoke up everytime I want to, I wouldn't have any clients

My sub just turned 80 and loves coming over here!

Its so hard to find a sub that doesn't work, family, kids, traveling, wants to be around kids, not busy with retirement, etc.

I actually saw a couple on tv celebrating their 80th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY!!!!

My grandma is a sub for us at 75. She is amazing, the kids love her!

I'm 44 and if I am still doing it when I am in my 70s I hope the kids are trained to change my diapers.

I am also 44. (I think

)

If I am still doing child care when I am in my 70ies, I hope Apple will have developed an app that will change diapers by then.

One for potty training would be good too!

I know you are young because you round your age UP.

I'm 21 too, but I probably wont start it until I am 22 or 23, I want to finish community college first.

The provider I used to work for started daycare in the 70's when she was 17- but she started in a van then did it out of a clients home and offered them free daycare (can't do that now).

This is me! I'm 29. And I will be 29 again this year! (actually I'm 30)

My grandmother is in her late 70's and is still working full time...as a teacher/kindergarten! I'm telling you, nothing beats good health, that woman puts me to shame!

One of the best ladies I ever worked with in child care was 70 and had worked at that center for 30 years!

mom2many 12:08 PM 02-12-2013

I started my business when I was 26, when my oldest was just 6 weeks old. In some ways that seems like yesterday! Boy have I learned a lot & most of it the hard way!

Wish I had this forum back then!

melilley 12:14 PM 02-12-2013

I'm 34!

Sunchimes 01:36 PM 02-12-2013

I'll be 60 this summer. I've been doing this for 2 years this month, and I know it's made me younger. I had bad knees when I started, I sort of plunked to sit in the floor and getting up required holding onto a chair. It was not a pretty sight. Now, I'm up and down like I'm 17 again.

Edited to answer the kid question. I don't have any kids, but I have 3 step kids. They are 47, 45, and 42. My great-grandson is 5.
