Thanks, I know it would be much easier to force scheduled days and rates but I feel like I'm still making my way in the industry. I just realized last weeks just how many providers there are! A mom on the soccer league runs one and I dropped off my card to her about the soccer reg and she called me back to chat and said 3 others in her development do as well!
I have 3 people nearby me who do, I know of many others. Once i get them here I have to sell ME at that point and I'm struggling with that idea. I feel like people know pretty quickly if they like me or not and it comes down to other factors like hours, flexibility, rate, etc.
Ugh I'm so stressed about this and need to stop freaking out and just go with the flow. Part of my worry is upsetting these people who may feel like they found their ideal provider upon meeting me and then have to start all over again. But it is what it is and I can't take 5 infants so my hands are tied. FT trumps PT.
