Are you with an agency? I just responded to a post of yours and, if I recall, you're in Alberta? If you're not, with the low fees, I'd be inclined to give them a shot, just to get the ball rolling. It can be hard getting clients at the beginning as it's a catch 22 - parents want other children for their little one to socialize with, but you can't offer that till someone comes on board. You could try a reduced rate for the first couple of clients, then increase for the ones to follow. So far as the clients you have now, they sound like the ones most of us red flag at interviews. As soon as you get someone signed on..or a couple even....get rid of them. They'll drive you nuts for the duration of time with you.

Hope it gets better soon!
