What Kind Of Calls Are You Getting The Most?

[AfterSchoolMom]

I would ADORE an infant, I'd LOVE part time.... I'd even take that baby for three hours!!! I have gotten NO calls, no emails, no nothing. I've been advertising since last June.

afterschool....really? how are you advertising? how are you not getting any inquiries at all?

I get pregnant people looking for infant care in 6 months. Infant care is in high demand around here. Spots are super limited (I can only have 2 out 6 kids be infant).

I'm starting to realize what you mean about part-time infants. I have a 3 afternoons/wk (mom is an afterschool teacher). It's been a hard adjustment. I've had him since start of school and he still hasn't fully adjusted. The other 2 days/wk he shares with his grandparents (who watch him at his house, but still not so consistent with caregivers!)

I'm having the same problem, got quite a few calls at first but lately, hardly any and done this week nor last..hoping a vendor booth this sat will get the wordnout in the community and get me some calls or even better, spots filled!

I don't advertise as I generally take only families that are referred to me by word-of-mouth, so the only calls I get other than those folks are referrals made by my CCRRN. They continue to give out my information even though I can't remember the last time I told them I had any kind of opening :confused:.
