There is a demand, you can make a good living if you put your mind to it and keep your openings filled. I don't keep my openings filled, because I don't need to be the sole support of my household and I'd rather work with a smaller group. I know providers who do keep all their positions filled all the time and do very well. One woman told me that when her husband got laid off, they found it better financially for him to become her partner in the business, which allows them to have 4 children under 2, instead of 2, and also allowed her to expand her care of children with special needs.
