The first step is to prepare a business plan. Even if you will not be applying for a bank loan, a business plan helps you to think through your business - what it needs, who it will benefit, how much it will cost, and what is its potential. It is easier to think of how much money you will need, if you actually know how much money you will need. A business plan can help you plan that out.\n\nHere are free business plans on childcare business that you may want to look into:\n\nhttp://www.sba.gov/library/pubs/mp-30.doc\nhttp://www.misbtdc.org/documents/BPWORKBK.pdf\nhttp://www.misbtdc.org/documents/CDCPLAN.pdf\nhttp://sbdcnet.utsa.edu/sbic/bplans.htm \n\nYou may want to read the free article "How To Start Your Own Day Care Center" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol40/daycare.htm It covers various aspects of starting and running a daycare center including the demand for daycare centers, how to start this business, shoestring strategies, how to operate a daycare center, tips on caring for the children, income potential, how to manage your daycare, marketing your business and other additional income potential.

Here is the IRS page on child care centers: http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/industries/content/0,,id=99878,00.html\n\nAs for the licenses and requirements in your state, the Administration for Children and Families provide a state by state listing of contacts for licensing and regulations governing child care businesses:\nhttp://www.nccic.org/statedata/dirs/regoffic.html\n\nAs for the finances you need, bad credit may make it difficult for you to get loans. You may find a tough time getting a loan from financial institutions with poor credit, even from SBA. SBA requires a number of factors to avail of their loans, and one of them is good credit history (see SBA Basic requirements http://www.sba.gov/financing/preparation\n\nIf you cannot get loans, try to get a loan from your parents, family and friends. If they cannot give you any, use your credit card. Credit card requires no collaterals but are an expensive source of funds. \n\nOtherwise, either downscale your plans and amount of capital needed; or wait until your financial situation improves.

The best job you could ever ask for is babysitting. It's easy and fun, especially if you can tolerate children. It pays a lot of money, too - often much more than store or restaurant jobs. You could be a full-time or part-time job, and the nice thing is, there are no taxes, so you'll be getting every penny you earn.\nNo experience? No problem. Just mention that in your ad, and offer to have a couple free training days. But usually "experience" is relative term. If you're babysitting babies, then you need it. But if they're like 5 or 6, then you just have to play with them.\nAfraid your friends will make fun of you? Oh well. See who'll be laughing when you have money and they don't.\n\nDon't like children at all? You can also be a house-sitter, although that's harder to find. You can be an assistant to the elderly. Or you can be a pet-sitter. All of these are slightly harder to find, but it's the same general concept. \n\nIf you like dogs, start your own small doggy daycare or something. \n\nHope this helps!

Why not make some posters and put them up in neighborhood preschools.  Have your parents take you to the job.  Just use a first name and home phone.  Take the red cross babysitting certification course.

You'll have to start by working with Child Care Services. To start, you have to purchase a licensing packet and attend a free orientation class (pre-registration required). These are held monthly. Once you get all that done, then you can start working through the packet. Depending on what kind of day care center you want to provide (group day care, family day care, or child care learning center), click on the "Rules and Regulations" link on the left side of the page via the link below. \n\nGood luck!
