This statement is a red flag. Their finances are NOT your problem. Don't fall for sob stories. If other providers are getting $125 and have clients, so can you. Lowballing is a totally common mistake for new providers, but now you know. If you ditch this family, you will get others, it just takes time. Taking the older girl to school is HURTING your business. I wouldn't blame potential parents for no
t liking this. There are some GREAT threads on this forum for marketing ideas that are free or cheap. You are WORTH more than $75 a week per child.
