It really depends on supply and demand and nothing is ever for sure. I started almost a year ago and I have been fortunate (and have worked very hard) to pretty much always be full (with the number I want). However, when I first filled up, i thought that would be it for at least a year, but found that almost immediately, one mom was pregnant and then I had to terminate one a month or so ago, so have had to refill. I didn't have too much trouble finding kids, but it is tiring starting over with new kids constantly. However, it is just a part of the business. Playfelt's suggestion of joining CCPRN is good. Also advertise on kijiji, daycare bear and I strongly suggest making yourself a website, sample schedules, menus, etc to show that you are professional. You should start advertising well in advance of when you want to start, because it could take time. Good luck! I don't regret my decision (even though I have a little one screaming in her playpen at the moment...hahahha).
