There is so much compeition no matter where you live. It took an entire very bad year with famlies I should not have accepted to get my daycare running in the right direction. But I learned a lot in that year, that you are better off waiting a bit for the right clients rather than just accepting the first ones that come along.

Do you have family and friends who word for a large company or hospital or university where they have internal buy/sell systems kind of like their own kijiji? I advertise at places like that and get good responses. You probably have your ads on kijiji, this site and godaycare, then there are Mom/tot groups, do you have other sports places like an arena nearby? There are library groups, lots of places to network.

Don't put in your ads that you are new or advertising for more than 1 space and during interviews let the parents know you have lots of other people interested if you have a few interviews scheduled. Be confident in your abilities and advertise your own personal strengths.
