I've had lots of interviews, and they all have gone pretty well. But with only a few references of friends that I've babysat for, the parents are having a hard time trusting me (which I understand). I've taken classes above and beyond what is neccissary for licencing, and am offering a price break as a 'grand opening' deal. How else can I help get those first few children in the door?

www.craigslist.com. They have a childcare section that a lot of daycare centers use, and for others looking for babysitting jobs. Most major cities in the US have a local craigslist listing.

more advertising (i've spent 9 years in marketing). if your budget is tight (which i'm sure it is with a new business) i would call elementary schools and ask if YOU printed flyers if they would distribute them, one to each child, to go home in the "friday folders". us moms read EVERYTHING in the folders! BEST OF LUCK TO YOU!

get a very fancy facility and raise your prices and set yourself up to be a high-end care and education provider and all the rich folks will flock to your door.

Contact the schools in your area and let them know you are available. You'll get more business there than any other place.
