Just had to brag a bit

The mom of one of my dcb's is a supply teacher, so she doesn't need care for the summer. She's paying for it anyway, just to hold dcb's spot, and has been bringing him most days, which is great since I LOVE this dcb!

Well, he won't be here anymore until September (they're going on vacation), so not only did DCM pay in advance for the time, but this morning she popped in to drop off a Tim Card (a gift card for the best coffee shop on the planet ) on their way to the airport! She had it inside a handwritten note, thanking me for the care I give to dcb .

Totally made my day . Even made up for the fact that I will REALLY miss dcb for the next month!

Now I just need to post an ad for my open spot:

"Wanted: Respectful, considerate and friendly daycare parents who will randomly offer gift cards, flowers, and/or cash bonuses. Parents must also enjoy spending time with their own child, asking about my day, and be genuinely interested in my children too. Will care for your adorable and amazingly easy-going child for $xx/week. Book your interview now!"

This family actually fits that description . Not sure how I lucked out, but I did! Most of my families are pretty amazing, but this family is the sweetest .

Hope I can find another family just like them for the fall!

Ask the current mom to refer you to her friends and family. Birds of a feather do flock together so where there is one, there is more.

I have given current families a gift card and a week's rates at a slight discount for refering new clients that enroll.

Good, happy customers are your best advertising and marketing tools!!
