    I've been open for 1 year as of Aug. 2 and I must say it's been crazy. But the parents have gone through it all with me, been supportive and understanding. I had to change my contract a few times and I even raised my prices due to Bill 10; they stuck with me through it all. It's a compliment that they have believed in me and know how serious I take my business. I truly love my current clients. I did have one set who caused me some headaches and communication always seemed to be an issue, but they are gone now and I'm very happy/comfortable with who I have left.

    They are very thoughtful at Christmas as well. I had two clients who filled baskets with something for each of my family members (even my dog!) and a dinning card for myself. So sweet
