Day Care
Day Care is an industry that may work for you.This does not have to mean working with children. Today, this could also mean adult or even doggie day care. For those of us who lead busy lives outside the home, there is a growing need to ensure that not only our children are well-cared for while we are gone, but also our parents and animals.
Day Care Explained
Establishing a center in your home would be to provide a service to people nearby, who need to be away from their own homes during the day.The service would enable them to go out to work, or take a break, and be confident that their "care responsibility" was being well looked after. "Care responsibility" might be:
- a child / children
- a pet such as a dog that can not be left alone all day, or may be temporarily unwell and can not be left
- an elderly relative or parent that may need supervision or assistance during the day
You would use your own home as the premises, thus keeping overheads down, and allowing you to remain at home for whatever reasons you feel you need to be at home.
