hi ambah

i am probably not much help here, but will try lol

here in melb or vic anyway we have what they call family day care and you look after i think up to a max of 4 children (not sure if that also includes your own) i am positive it is run through the council, so maybe give your local council a call - i am sure they have family day care in qld, i seem to remember my sil using it years ago when her ones were little.

i think you definately need first aid cert and a police check but not sure on the other qualifications.

good luck hope you can do it.
