Ready to give up....

I find that the autumn is a good time to fill spaces. It makes sense when you think about it. Winter is cold and people need to snuggle to be warm which leads to babies 9 months later in the autumn!

I agree that my first year was hell but once you get established with great clients it's smooth sailing. Ask your current clients if they have co-workers coming back to work soon who need daycare. Get your family and friends involved in spreading the word about your daycare. Don't be afraid to publicize yourself shamelessly, ha! We've all been there and even the most experienced daycare providers have interviewing slumps now and then where you just can't fill a space.
