Please remember that the first few years are the hardest until you have the wonderful families as your client base, great references who will spread word of mouth to all their friends and co-workers. I'm turning people away nonstop now because I'm always full and have families with their second babies who want to stay with me but it's complicated to hold spaces and all that.

I did put too much pressure on myself in the beginning and didn't realize that it's ok to let the children play and once in a while to let them sit in front of the tv and watch Mickey Mouse or Word World teach them about the #'s & ABC's!
