I am so ready for a change in my career! I babysit and I just can't stand it anymore!! My house is being torn apart. The kids fight and scream and yell. The parents are not any better. I hear "Oh darn, I forgot the diaper bag, hope you have some diapers and wipes" or "Oh, I forgot my checkbook, I will have to pay you next week" or "My son doesn't like a stopper in his sippy cup, so I quit putting it in there" (I now have chocolate milk stains on furniture and carpet) or how about the mother that only puts pull-ups on her son. Even though he is asleep when she brings him over and knows he will sleep for a few hours after she drops him off. You know how many times he has peed on my couch because the pull-ups don't absorb as much as diapers? Or what about the time my husband's Grandmother passed away and I asked everyone to have their kids picked up a couple hours early so I could go to the showing. I was told by one mother too bad. Neither her or her husband could take off work. And even though her Mother-in-Law probably could do it, she didn't want to ask her because they had already asked her to watch the kids a few times that week.
I'm sick of it!!!! I started selling PC in May and started out doing really well. Well, I was too afraid to step out of my comfort zone, so I let the booking dry up. Well, guess what!! I'm back!!! A couple of weeks ago, I had NOTHING in my datebook and now I have 5 shows in February and 1 for March. I just picked up the phone and got busy.
I also just got done making "free show" certificates. I am going to mail them to a few people that I know would probably have a show if it wasn't for financial reasons. I have offered to pay for everything (ingredients, plates, cups, napkins, utensils and postage for invites) if they host in February. If they host in March I will pay for the ingredients. If this works well, I may start sending out a couple of these each month.
Wish me luck
