Having a hard time filling my spot!

[VictoriaChildCare]

ugh I am having a hard time filling my spaces. I've had a run of bad luck. I had to term a baby after 2 weeks because he didn't just cry, he screamed and he was doing the same at home so the behaviour would never end. That left 1 space open. 1 have another dropping down to part time because mom is giving birth on Monday and she'll be on mat leave. Then - the cherry on top... a family who lives 25 mins away (and recently got divorced and qualified for subsidy) got a spot in a licensed daycare in her older child's school.
I've had three 2 hour interviews (1 went to a dc centre, 1 got a sitter in the home, haven't heard from the other) with no takers and no prospects.
So frustrating. I have ads all over the internet, colour signs at major intersections close to my house and flyers up in high traffic areas. I'm at a loss. In 11 years I've never hit a slump like this. Thanks for letting me vent

Victoria ~ I know EXACTLY how you feel....because I have been feeling that for the past three months on and off too with different drops out and changes in schedules ....it will happen for you too....as hard as it is to wait, it will happen....look, it happened for me and I felt at my complete wits end which is why I started this thread....you will get someone too. keep advertising, keep up the flyers and the kijiji/craiglist postings and it will come for you! Hugz, keep your chin up and know that you are good provider and you will find the right children for your care. Keep writing, it helps to vent and talk about it - and know you are not alone!
