Yes. I too am finding things "dry" and I am in the US. I wonder if it doesn't have to do with the economy and the outright difficulty to make things work financially right now. I think everyone is feeling the "pinch". I have heard of so many people cutting their hours back at work just because the price of working is so expensive, gas and other expenses (including daycare). I have also had a couple of my families cut back to go with less expensive alternatives such as family rather than paying daycare at all. Hang in there, I have a full time spot as well I can't seem to fill. Have had a few options....no one I felt too great about though, holding out for a perfect fit....may take a while!!!
