    Today is a great day

    I'm so happy! Today I signed my first customer! Only starting mid september, but still I can now say I have one! I can now tell prospective customer who ask how many kids I now have in my care that I have one! Better than none, isn't it?

    I had to share my joy with you!

    I don't know how long it will take to fill out my second spot because the phone is dead, completely! Anyway, I have to be positive. 250$ a week is really good I think. Si I can wait patiently for a second kid!

    Yeah there seems to be competition... My area (toronto) is 50$ and I have noticed some mommies offering 25$. I don't understand them. Don't get why they lower their fees like that. I call that unfair competition!

    The first one is hard because parents keep asking you how many kids you have in your care, and you can only say :"none yet, I'm new!"
