Does anyone watch others children in their home?

I have been doing this for a few months and have found its not for me. I find that parents take total advantage of at-home daycare. If I charged them by the hour, i am betting I wouldn't have them 11 hours a day. I find myself resenting the entire thing. I love these kids, but I dont like watching them anymore. I am about to make a change to working outside of my house part time instead. How does one become a successful child care provider?

I used to babysit when I was younger, but I don't anymore. I do not have the patience to watch children all day. I have a hard enough time with my own kids let alone someone else's. If I had the patience I would try it because child care is really hard to find where I live.

I have a son, and I feel like I am doing him a disservice by watching these kids. I think it will be best for me to end it as soon as possible. I am in the process of looking for something outside the home.
