It sounds like you are getting interest but something is putting them off. This may very well be that you don't have any kids currently. I know as a paretn when I was looking for a home daycare for my daughter I was turned off by those without kids or kids much older then my daughter. I was sending her to daycare because I had to of course but also to socialize with kids her age.

When I started I did not have a hard time getting that "first family" only because I lucked out with a woman who was desperately in need of care fast and I was about to open (she was going through a divorce and the husband was no longer an option to stay with the kids and she was home from work until she found something). That being said she didn't pick me because she didn't have other options. I found her though because I sent over packages to the school across the road for b&a care and it worked out well because I got her older child and she had a boy the same age as my daughter.

I would recommend you advertise for b & a (it sucks but it gets your name out there) and just do it until the end of the school year. There are always families looking for this care and it can be hard to come by and you will easily find infants and they will more likely sign on with you having other kids in care.

Do your website, include this in your kijiji ads but don't pay for it, just put it in the text

call your local centre and ask if they'll pass your info on to the families they can't accommodate.

Try and connect with other providers, they may have families they can't accommodate at the moment.

Go to early years centres and connect with other moms. I have had so many referrals from people I have never even interviewed. They meet me at a drop in and maybe I don't have a spot for them but they pass my name onto someone else.
