Does anyone have any ideas for how to advertise unlicensed childcare? I don't have q childcare name or anything. It's basically babysitting (except not the typical sense of the word, in that I provide more for the children in my care, like I used to be a preschool teacher and provide preschool and other important activities for a child's growth & development. I provide care all day during the week, so it's not like the random, weekends and evenings type babysitting). But I'm at a loss of advertising ideas for the type of care I provide since I'm not an actual day care, don't have a dedicated play room or daycare space, and very little outdoor equipment (cant afford a swingset until I bring in another child or two). I've tried an ad in the newspaper for a week, but got no bites for it (and I don't want to pay so much every week for an ad that doesn't bring anyone in, since I only need one or two more children). Word of mouth won't work until I've gotten more business and more families even KNOW about me. I've tried Craigslist also, but the nearest city I could post in is an hour away, so most people around here don't even use Craigslist to find anything that they need.
Thanks for any ideas you can give me!
