DQ News: Niche Biz: Drop-In Daycare

No one really enjoys shopping with their kids. Between the “I Want’s” and the bathroom breaks, shopping with even one kid can be a long process. So, what can you do about it?

“I had a very good job, but my heart was in homeschooling my girls,” said Melody. “It was a lose-lose situation, where I couldn’t do my job well and still be a good mom.”

Her girls come to work with Mom, so Autry has the best of both worlds, although she admits things do get hectic.

“You make lists and keep going one day at a time,” she said. “You’ve got to roll with the punches and realize you are not superwoman.”
