You will probably see more children coming in around the holidays. That is one of the two times a year that most people switch daycares if they need to. I've been doing daycare for the past 10 years, with the last 6 being out of my home. It took me a good six months to get a couple of part timers when I started. I posted an add three time in the Aurora/Naperville papers. This last time I posted on sitter city and care.com, and really had no luck. If it is something that you really want to do, stick with it. The first year will be hard with the last of adult communication. If you decide that you need to provide another provide, please give me a call. I can help refer you to someone in your area if you are in/near the western sububurs. Everywhere from Bollingbrook, Naperville, Westmont, Aurora. There are other suburbs that I can help you with to get contact information.
