I need some ideas. I'm desperate at this point lol. I have 6 month old twin girls and I've decided to stay home with them and start an in home daycare (only caring for 2 more children). What are some places I can advertise other than facebook, craigslist, and care.com?
Also, are there any other ideas of how to make money while still being at home with my babies? Thanks

lol...all I've got is if you have twins your husband needs to work two jobs so you can relax. Start a Husband For Hire business and send him out after he get's home from his first job lol.

I would look into your states child care laws. Most states have a minimum number of kids you can watch in your home without some sort of training. If you get your early childhood education degree, then you can also offer some sort of pre-school type education to the kids in your home. As far as daycare goes, I know people make pretty good money doing it.

lol my husband already works a construction maintenance job so by the end of the day he's worn out from the heat and all (we live in louisiana so our summers are 100+ degrees) plus he team ropes so still needs time to practice. i would love to be able to not need to have an income myself but i definitely need to contribute in some way
in louisiana i can watch up to 7 children without needing any sort of licensing and i want a max of 4 or 5 but thank you for that advice that was a good thought

Do you belong to a church or local social organization - like a community organization of some sort? I'd advertise at those places too. The local newspaper will often have online and print adds for reasonable rates too.
