Get Paid to Stay Home and Care for Your Special Needs Child: Many of the kiddo's I see simply are not good candidates for a daycare or preschool - they are too overstimulated and then demonstrate severe behavior problems. These children really need to be home with Mom or Dad. However, bills need to be paid.
