    Also, advertise in the surrounding areas - you never know who reads 1 but not the other - ***** have loads near enough for you to Childmind but may not be your local one. (The more I write the less it is seeming to make sense lol).


    Also, a tip with advertising on ***** - if you are slipping down the page or even on page 2 copy and paste your advert, delete it and then start again advertising - copy and paste as a new advertisment and you go back to the top.

    Make sure you check on there for parents looking for childcare too. I got my new 4 day a week mindee in this way - mum said I was the only local minder who contacted her!

    Good tip there . I've got someone coming to see me this week because I responded to an ad a mum had put on there.

    Don't do it too often though or others start complaining and ***** don't like this as it's not fair on all the others.
    Also ***** is great if there's lots of work in your area. But as in mine, it's a constant leapfrog up the page and if you put your advert on, at least 5 others HAVE to bury you until you get to page 2 It's a leapfrog as there are too many minders chasing the few children out there
