Trouble is there is an abundance of childminders in my area and we all have spaces. It's really hard to fill them, I only charge £2.75 and hour and I'm struggling! I've tried boosting my cv with courses, job experience at local school; but I'm still struggling. I also advertise but I'm one of many.....Sad

How do you all cope with lean times? I've cut down loads but TBH dh is on minimum wage and I'm getting desperate.

it must be the time of year, as it's very quiet round here too. I was talking to some local minders last week and none of us have had any calls recently Sad
