I got an email back over the weekend. This family is in town and looking for care for their 1 yr old asap. They would love to meet. Great right, nope, I already have my two under two and can't take an under 2 until mid march. the joins of being with an agency.

I emailed back with this info and asked if they still wanted to meet. just in case they couldn't find a spot between now and then. I still have not heard back and I don't think I will.

Have you considered leaving the agency and striking out on your own? I looked briefly into joining an agency, but they wanted a good chunk of my daily pay and strict Day Nurseries policies. Plech! All my kids are under 2 and I have no issues. Sometimes logistics are a problem....getting out and about in the car, but typically, I find it much better being on my own. Plus, you get to keep your whole paycheque AND regulate your own policies, hours, rate of pay, etc....

cfred - I would love to, but so far all my clients are through one of the two agencies I am with. 98% of the families that contact me want subsidy. I will have to wait until i can move to another area before going fully private.
