I am needing to post my ads but am almost too afraid to post them if that makes sense. There is so much competition out there right now and this morning I was checking kijiji and a person I know that has a fantastic program and has had an opening since Feb and another one opening end of June just renewed both ads meaning she still hasn't filled the Feb position. So I sit here thinking ok if she can't fill her spaces what makes me think I can and that is discouraging. I did 27 interviews last summer to fill spaces and do not want to go through that again and that doesn't include the calls I got that I didn't even allow to interview cause their demands were not in keeping with my wants list.

I know you don't want to leave daycare and I would encourage you to stick it out a bit longer if you could because things do pick up in the summer usually. If it really comes down to a major decision you might be able to find a good compromise. I thought about it when you said you had nanny experience. On kijiji especially under jobs-childcare as compared to services there are requests for nanny and I have seen some that say ok to bring your own child with the idea it gives the other child a playmate. That might be a way to go until things improve in your area - ie older people move out and younger families move in. That is basically what is happening on my street right now. Issue is I don't speak French and they do so still not any help to me daycare wise but at least there are little kids again and two more couples listed their houses for sale I saw on my walk the other day.
