If it wasn't for my referrals I would seriously have 1 full time child. I currently have 2 f/t and 4 p/t which is not enough. I have two clients on mat leave, but those p/t babies won't be here till Sept 2013. It is really dry out there. I have lost 2 clients to Grandma care and my p/ters are p/t due to Grandma care. I don't begrudge my clients for economizing, it is just difficult on my finances. I almost never get a call for f/t care. When I received a call in May from my current teacher client I almost fell over from shock. So you are not alone trying to fill an empty space. Good luck to us all!!!
