Thanks Teagansmom - I am just in the process of starting my website. Hopefully that will help. That is a great point about having more one on one time with their child. I am definitely going to emphasize that tomorrow!

Lee-Bee - I'm now wondering if maybe I shouldn't have reduced my rates since I know I'm worth the original rate. I just don't know if my area agrees!

I have been advertising and interviewing for about two months. I did leave it kind of late as I wasn't anticipating that it would be so difficult.

My last couple of interviews have been far more relaxed and they have said they are "interested" but just won't commit yet. I tell them that it's first come first served and that I'm doing quite a few interviews. It's so weird. My kijiji ad has 150 views last week.

Thanks for your advice. I guess it's just a matter of trying to secure that " one" family to start and the rest will fall into place.

I have an interview tomorrow for a woman who wants part time care. 20 hours a week but really strange hours. Like, 3 hours one day and 6 the next. Basically there is no way I could schedule another child around this. And it's for an infant spot. I don't want to give up my infant space (as those are the only people contacting me at the moment and I know it will be filled soon. I even have a lady who says she is very interested in it but "busy" at the moment.

I also can't turn any one away as I need children. I have no idea how to deal with her. Maybe I can out her off for a bit by telling her that I won't make a decision until next week.

Thanks again for your help!
