have bit the bullet

**nicola1981** · 24-02-2011, 10:53 AM

I have taken the chance and signed up to childcare.co.uk and paid the annual fee and have just messaged some parents that I may be able to help.

Hopefully I will hear back

Good luck. Unfortunately I struggle with childcare.co.uk

When my subscription runs out that's me done

It is a good site , i had someone see my profile then find out my email address else where so they could contact me .
Unfortunatly they were messing around but after having a few more view my profile i became a gold member so if anyone views my page i send them a msg thanking them and asking if they want more details of my service.
I have messaged people who never replied so be prepared for that , i have yet to sign anyone up from here but live in hope.
Good luck x

I am a gold member and message loads of parents on there.
I get a reply from a few but there are a lot of parents that are not seriously looking but at least they look at my profile and you never know they may get in touch in the future.

Ive had a few enquiries off there but they were for full time and I have not had the space and I had 1 mum visit but by the time she got back to me to ask for another visit with dad I had already filled that space.

I think it is a good site because you can contact the parents and not just sit and wait for them to contact you but don't get down hearted if they dont get in touch with you
