If you own a family pet. Make sure they are up to date with their shots before opening you start up a home daycare. Believe it or not parents will and do ask for proof of animal vaccinations. You don't want to say your pet hasn't been vaccinated because if you can't take care of your pet. How are you to take care of their child?
Have your yard and home is free from feces. If you own a pet be sure to let the parent that is coming for an interview knows before they show up at your door because they may have an allergy or fear of some animals. Or your pet just may startle them and then you already have a check mark of cons from the parent.
Have your home free of animal hair as much as possible. If you own a cat, make sure the little box is in a place where young children can’t get into it.Young children will eat cat little. They like to explore anything and everything. With cat little it might just be the feel of the texture for some child. Other child will just plan eat it.
All other animals should be in their cages or their area of the house to avoid any health issues. This is more for pets like snakes, rats, ferrets etc. You wouldn't want to have to explain to a parent that their child was bit by your snake or worse the child could have an allergic reaction.
Keep your pet area clean. Word of mouth travels fast and you don't need parents telling others you keep a dirty pet area. This would not be a good way to start up a home daycare. You would fail before you even get started.
Keep all pet feeding bowls out of reach as children love playing in those too. Starting up your own home daycare means you want to have everything clean including your pets.
