Small Home Based Business Idea Child Care Referral Agency
With this small home based business idea, you find people interested in caring for children while their parents work, travel or the child needs watching for any other non-medical reason. Your work is not baby-sitting. Instead you find baby-sitters, checkout their qualifications, and then refer them to people needing dependable child-care services. For this work, the person seeking the childcare service pays you a fee. Normally, you do not need a license of any kind to perform this service, because you are not functioning as an employment agency or other licensed business.
