Who Is Looking For New Clients?

[nanglgrl]

Root for me please! I lost one that I'd had for 3 years back in December due to job loss, I will lose another 3 in May that I've had for 2 years. Come summer I will only have 2 children enrolled and all the calls I get are for infants (I have 1 but only take one under a year at a time even though I could have 3).

I could use some rooting for
I just filled a super hard to fill spot only to get notice from another of the same age. Thankfully it was a wash but it still leaves me with 6 available. 4sa and 2 preschool. If it doesn't turn around soon ill be out of business. Plus I suspect that I will be losing another preschooler when the babysitter is out of school for the summer

Me, me, me!

I just lost 2 ft, this is their last week. And I have one pt spot I could take or leave

[Patches]

Me too. I need 2 or 3

I'm just about to start my search. I have a few teacher parents that are required to keep a 2 day minimum throughout summer to keep their spot in August. And I have one other child coming 4 days a week. I was supposed to have 1 more full-time summer child, but they just gave notice. I'm going to miss the income, but am secretly doing the happy dance to have Thursdays OFF and just me and my kids. This allows me the freedom 1 day a week to go to the zoo, and do fun things with my family without feeling guilty! Also the little one leaving is the biggest Pita =) I've been blessed to be at State allowed capacity since August, so I'm looking for a break!!

I'm hoping to find a child over 30 months for August. This is hardest of all spots to fill!

Most 3 yr. olds can go straight to preschool. So that leaves the following;
- Kids that have moved to the area... not very frequent - preferred clientele!
- Kids that are naughty and kicked out of a previous daycare <yikes>
- Crazy parents finding the prince/princess perfect solution, cheap care with nanny control

Ohhh.....I say maybe, pass, pass, and definitely pass for those interviews.

I passed on all BUT I am debating on the longer hours. I am torn between emailing them to offer the space with an enhanced rate, or telling them I filled it (I didn't, obv) They want 5:30-4:30, 11 hour days, 5 days per week. I do NOT like the 5:30, but I LOVE the 4:30. I am already up/ready and have one dck come at 6 but he goes right to a mat and sleeps until 7:30. It would be replacing a family that's admittedly leaving as soon as they can enroll dcb in a new sliding fee scale center AND they are my LAST late pickup (5:30 W/T/TH and 6:15 W/F). The rest of my kids are now gone at 4:45, so it's a heck of a lonnnggg time with one child.

I don't need any new clients but was hoping maybe this was an exchange thread...

I have one high maintenance helicopter parent that I will gladly exchange for any other type of parent....

ANYTHING has got to be a refreshment verses what I have going on with this family now....

You want my family who dopes and drops ? Although I don't know if I want a helicopter parent . My family did bring a bunch of fresh berries for the daycare kids yesterday. I think it was their way of saying sorry (maybe).

:::::::::: thanks BC I really needed that as I go into our daily fight to the finish w dcb 2 1/2, who will not be quiet no matter what at nap. Once he's quiet for two minutes he is out.

Awwww bummer!! My new baby's mom wrote me this morning and she quit her job today to stay home. Good thing I kept my interview next week and didn't say I was full!! Whew!

I have availability M,T,W. Even so I can’t take on another parent.

I am rooting for all who are looking to fill spots. I am wishing you honest, respectful, realistic, sane parents and Beaver Cleaver like children.

[mema]

Me! happyface
I could use 1 more, possibly 2 depending on how the afternoon goes. I have one leaving in the fall for "real pre-k"-not sure if the sibling will be staying or not.
Here's to everyone lookinghappyfacehappyface

Had a call for part time 2-3 days a week I'm going to have to take. I really wish I could get some full timers.
