Not that there is anything wrong with any of those reasons but the lifers will stay in and endure the slow economy and everyone else will get out of the biz. I can see a lot of providers closing up shop this year.
There are two providers in my area that are closing up by end of September - so I'm receiving some calls - just for the little ones!
But I do agree that there is not many calls for the preschoolers - they're going to nursery school and preschool programs now!
I will try craigslist thanks! I have no money for a website. Is there a way to do it for free? I will take babies but not 9 months. I already have a 3 year old, 2 18-20 month olds and was hoping for 2 year olds. I supose people are working around getting child care to avoid paying alot. This economy really does suck. I have turned a few away and now I have regrests as the added income would be nice!
