Registered but no children
Hi all,
Just looking for some advise. I have been registered since September last year and i am struggling to get enquiries. I looked after one little girl for four months, but unfortunatlely she as her mum changed jobs, but since then i have had no enquiries. I have advertised on all the usual websites, have my card up at the clinic and the library, I pop into baby and toddler clubs so i am known there, i chat to people and give out my business card as much as possible but still nothing. Its getting quite desperate now as i have just gone onto job seekers allowance and (i suppose quite fairly) they want me to get a job and are not willing to wait for me to find more children to mind. Frustrating really as i can earn more as a childminder than if i work the 22.5hours the job centre ay i can work.
So really my question was, how did you find your children or is it as i suppose it just happens over time.
Thanks
Nicky
