Why should I do child care in my home?

Do I have to have an education to do this type of work?
Caring for children is no easy task. It takes commitment, patience and high energy. It does help to know how children grow and why they behave in childlike ways. Most child care systems require at least a high school education and some training in health and safety. Working from home, you can learn as you go, taking workshops and attending seminars planned specifically for child care providers.
