Great point Judy!
Your experience and insight are so welcome to a newbie like me. I started this last year (right as all the crashes and layoffs began)so I guess you could call me a "recession provider" with one clarification. I am here for the long haul and am looking for my "niche." I think I just had an epiphany!
Thanks!!

Yes, that is what I do. I look around for the new hot parent trend and go with it. Of course, I need to believe in it too or it can't be pulled off. Years ago I was miserable with the parents and kids that I had (not all but some). Now my ads pre weed out parents I don't like and don't share similar views and expectations of their children. Saves me a bunch of time, keeps me full with long waiting lists and parents begging for their child to attend. Parents are getting on my wait list at 4 months pregnant! They are all thankful, appreciative, conscientious parents who get the care they want at the price I want!

Judy - Remember there is no such thing as competition in the home daycare world ;) Every provider is different. Just because she is a 'foodie' like you, she might not pick up her dog poop or have any sort of routine with her kids. Or she may offer 24/7 care (which some parents love & some hate) Parents have to find THEIR niche too ;)
