Thank you @lymepoet 🌱 I did care for other people's kids for about 8 months. And let me tell you, it was a challenge. When my husband left, I had to figure out how to make an income. I decided caring for other children was the best way for me to continue to home school - a value I did not want to compromise - as well as use my home as an asset in order to help it pay for itself. It was the right choice, and I really loved the kiddos I cared for, but holy crap, it was hard.
