I have had all of my kids since infancy, so I haven't had to worry about it. I had an opening in late 2016, but it was only a temporary one until the new sibling was born. I am starting to fret.
Google offers free business websites. I got one and it was pretty easy to set up. The catch is you have to pay to have it show up in the search engines if someone searches keywords like "daycare, childcare, etc." and it can get quite expensive from what I hear. My website shows up if I type in the exact address though. So, I've just been putting a link to my google website in the places I advertise like Craigslist, Daycare Bear, FB, etc.
