"Hi Kimberly, I would like to work as much as possible, but there are still days that I don't get jobs. Do you have any suggestions as to what I can do to get called more by the office and to get more clients to request me? Thank you so much."
I spoke with Angela, and she recommends that you put your availability in on time, and keep it accurate. It gets very frustrating if you say you're available, but when she calls you tell her that your plans have changed. If she thinks she can't count on you, she's going to call you less. Angela also said that it is helpful if you put your availability in as far in advance as possible so she can consider you for long term assignments. Another good idea is to let her know how far you're willing to drive. Sometimes a willingness to drive a few extra miles can make a really big difference!
Okay nannies, I'm turning the second part of Laura's question over to you. What do you feel gets you requested back by clients?
