    Yeah me too I'm having a hard time. Out of 3 spots, only one is filled up, by a 12 months old.

    My house is clean, I have 2 playrooms, a big backyard, a trampoline, swings and slides, but no one take the spot. Also have experience, references, everything!

    I'm thinking of lowering my fees...

    I need the money. Paying a house in QC, paying an appartement in TO, 3 kids to feed, prepare for school in 2 weeks, etc...

    Sorry I took your post to complain but I had to let it out, it's killing me!

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't lower your fees.....makes the rest of us look bad for charging so much (even when we aren't). It took me a full year before filling up. Could you take on another job that you could do at home while waiting for little ones to take your spots? (Ie: Stampin' UP!, Tupperware, Epicure, Avon, Pampered Chef, etc....)

    I know Play and Learn, I know! I do not want to lower my fees but I do need the income. I will look into the things you suggested for sure! Thanks for the advice! I'll let you know if it works out
