People take child care very seriously. The problem isn't a lack of childcare
services, but knowing which one to choose. Your job would be to know all the
child care services available, be they actual businesses run by full-time child
caregivers or stay-at-home moms who provide these services. Many parents simply
don't have the time to do the research and find the situation that they feel
most comfortable with. Every situation may be different. Some will only need
their children to be cared for once or twice a week. Some may prefer a one-to-one
situation if they feel uncomfortable with the care-giver taking care of other
children.
You'll need to visit the facilities. Find out what makes each one unique. Take
careful notes because parents will ask very specific questions. You'll need
to be sensitive to the overall environment, whether the children there seem
comfortable, the cleanliness of the facility and if you're a parent, ask yourself
if you'd feel OK with YOUR child being there. You make your money by charging
a placement fee to the parents. While it is also possible to receive a commision
from the child care facilities, it is best to be very careful about such arrangements.
Uppermost in your mind should be the well-being of your client's children. Your
conduct and professionalism will bring you more referrals.
