Lost another daycare kid!
| Mon, 04-13-2009 - 1:58pm |
I got an e-mail from a daycare client this morning saying her daughter will not be returning to my dayhome. I get $120 a week or taking care of her. This means that things are getting really tight. I have to redo our budget yet again. I just hope things start to change and money starts to roll in. This is why I only have 1 child, and people wonder why...LOL








Hugs. That just stinks!
Have you set up flyers and perhaps delivered them to office buildings in your areas? (I don't know where you live but just an idea.)
I work in an office with a lot of young mothers and day care is a nightmare. Many women would love to have someone watch their kids out of their home.
Best of luck adjusting your budget and perhaps finding more kids !
So sorry Jenn.
I'm down to one daycare child myself right now and his dad lost his job two weeks ago so I'm not sure how long they can hold on and still send him (dad wants him here with me so he can job hunt, attend networking groups, go on interviews etc..).
stacy
How about posting on the craigslist child care board for your area? I've looked there for babysitters before.
It might help if you can fill a certain niche -- like second shift care (2-10 pm) or even overnights. It's often tough for people with odd hours to find good care.
Sorry and good luck!
