Where Else to Run Ads

Hi R.,
I also have an in home daycare in Bolingbrook. I have never had to advertise in over 13 years---until now. Things have slowed down (I think mostly due to people losing jobs due to the economy) recently. I have great references and a couple openings, but it can be expensive to keep advertising in local papers. I have found it helpful to advertise here on mamasource in the local business reviews. It is free and I have gotten a few calls. Also ask your friends to spread the word that you are looking for work. Good luck and hang in there!

Hi--What about advertising in a church bulletin? Sometimes you can call the church and they will just put a little note in there. Best of luck!

I am currently looking for a baby sitter for my 2 1/2 yr. old son. I am not having much luck. Where are you located, I am near Belmont and Naragansette. If this is anywhere close to you then I would be happy to set something up for us to meet.

If you are watching only three kids (including your own) you are considered licensed-exempt and can register with the YWCA. They provide people with a list of people in their area and you could start receiving calls from them.

Their number is ###-###-####...good luck!

good places to advertise would be sittercity.com, daycarematch.com and metrodaycare.com

I have gotten many calls from all the services.
Good luck,
J.

not sure where you are located . . . but if your are near downers grove, i have seen postings for day care wanted/available on their meet up group message board . . .

and if you are not near downers grove . . .search meet up for your town or towns near it . . . and you could join that meet up and possibly post . . .

i also know most local jewels/grocery stores and libraries allow you to put up flyers for free . . .

the meet up website is simply www.meetup.com and just search . . .

good luck . . .

I don't know where you are located. What about a small, local paper. We have the Bartlett Examiner.
