Families Who Drive Out Of Their Way To Get To You?

Good to hear that from everyone! I really do not think they would leave because their good friends who referred them are here and they had a bad experience with dcg's first provider so they are pretty settled. But it did get me thinking. happyface Yay for DC parents willing to go the distance...LITERALLY!

I have a family that drives about 30 mins each way, and I'm a good 15 minutes north of mom's work, and dad speaks at various schools around the city. They own a farm that they co-op shares on & use it as an educational tool for kids. One family lives about 8 mins from me, and the other lives about 15 mins away.

Don't worry! They will fall in love with you, and the drive will not be an issue!

I have families both current and past that drive quite a distance. Only 1 was because they moved farther away, and the others all enrolled despite the drive. There are LOTS of in-homes in my city to choose from, but I think they are first attracted by my fairly low rates and everything I offer when first calling around. I am always nervous enrolling a new family that doesn't live close by, but all my families tell me how great my program is, and that makes it worth it.

I have two current clients drive a ways to get here.
#1-One lives 45 minutes away, drives to me, and then back 20 minutes to get to work.

#2-The other lives, and works, 30 minutes away and drives here and then right back to go to work.


One of the BEST compliments I have ever received was from the mother of dcm #2 "There is nobody else she would trust him with but you and me." Seriously, my dcb has never been alone with ANYONE but myself and his maternal grandmother. (dcd is not in the picture).
