Do you have a webpage? Inquires increased for me when I created mine. I started with an agency and stayed with them for the 1st year. They brought me clients, but they took a BIG part of my paycheck. That is the reason I left.

I've only been doing this for 1.5 months and aside from my website, Kijiji and Craigslist; the best two ways I have generated phone calls is from advertising with the school and having my paper boy distribute flyers for my daycare on his route. I have just started and I get a lot of referrals from "word of mouth" from someone who's friend received a flyer or from a mom mentioning my daycare at a mom's group.

I also recently connected with another provider and I am sending her a referral for an infant (as I don't want another little one right now) and hopefully she will return the favor down the road.

Welcome to home daycare

I've found my website to be the biggest draw. People often find me on here, but choose to interview more based on my website. It's been said by several that it just looks professional. If you've done any work with kids and can get some people to give you testimonials, that's a big help as well.

You'll get bites....you will. They can never come fast enough when you're really wanting them to. A watched pot never boils. Hang in there!
