Business Overview
According to the U.S. Department of Healthand Human Services, almost four million babies were born in the UnitedStates last year. While many second- and third-time parents completelyunderstand how to care for a newborn baby, there are hundreds ofthousands of first-time parents who could certainly benefit from alittle support and guidance on how to be a new parent.
Ideally, theperson who starts a consulting business teaching first-time parentsmethods and tips on practical child care will have a nursing orchild-care background. The business can work as an independentconsulting firm or can be established to work in conjunction withexisting hospitals and social service programs. Once established, theowner of this type of consulting service can easily generate an incomein excess of $50,000 per year.
