I have had my ad up since end of January. I have ONE client. At first I was just starting for June, bc I'm done mat leave then and I need to be full. I'm starting to get nervous, so I've been gradually making my start dates earlier and earlier hoping I would get some bites. NOTHING. Two days ago I put an ad for April 23rd, NOTHING. Not even an inquiry! What am I doing wrong?! I've had 18 hits on my ad on Kijiji in 12 hours, and not ONE email. I got an email from a woman who found me on daycare bear, I emailed her back and never heard from her again. I'm starting to really panic. I have one client, and I'm getting hungry and anxious for more. I can't wait to have my daycare up and running! I don't understand why no one is even INQUIRING. Here's my ad - it's basically the same on Kijiji and daycarebear. My ad on here has a little bit more information.

There's a woman down the road who always has a full daycare and this ad is very simliar to hers, where I put the prices and such in the beginning. She charges $3 less a day than I do. I DON'T want to lower my price, and I don't think I have to. There a few daycares in my area and most of them are relatively the same price.

HELP!!!!!!
