How many inquiries do you receive?

[MsBell]

Thanks to all for replying. So far I received 1 client from word of mouth but 99% of mine are straight from kijiji. The FB comment was good but I don't think it would help my case as I don't have "mommy" friends or anyone that would be interested in care and I already linked up my website to my kijiji ad with all of my information. Do you find any other sites that seem to be a big hit? I will be waiting for the warmer months and hoping!
In another thread I read a little bit about Bill 10 with some saying government centres will have a higher ratio now to accommodate more families and others saying there will be more under qualified moms undercharging and affecting others like us so I am unsure of what to think!
Someone will eventually be interested right??? lol guess I can't help but worry sometimes

Hi Emma H, I know we are not to far from each other. I use kijiji too, and most clients come through there, and word of mouth. if you need some other ideas, they will take your information at the Early Years Centre (in waterloo, they have a flyer binder, you put your phone or email address on it), your local school(s) might take your info and if they get inquiry pass your number one (my school calls me at least half a dozen times a year), some grocery stores still have a community board up (I know both the Zehrs by me do), play groups at community centres are a good way to meet aother providers, and yes, then you can pass on or get referals by them too.
Just a couple ideas, for me I find I have a dry spell, or a storm! I could get a dozen inquires a week, or nothing for months. I don't advertise unless I know I have something coming up, because I hate turning away someone I would love to have, and I find the time it takes getting new clients too much (my own kids are busy!)
