Hi Everyone,
I am opening my home daycare in December 2012. I have 2 full timers and 2 part timers already booked. My first inquiry was a family who lives just around the corner - they need care 2 days to 4 days a week, before and after school care for their 7 year old and 2-4 days for their 14 month old. It's rotating shifts, and they will be doing some half days and some full days and it's just all over the place. I don't have a signed agreement from them yet, but apparently it's coming this week. They don't need to start until late February/early March. Now that I have gotten somewhat into the jive of scheduling and fee's I'm starting to think that it's in my best interest not to take these two on (the only confirmation I gave her was an email saying I would hold 2 spots for them) .....does anyone have any advice?? should I try to work this out? should I let her know I can't take the kids? should I just take one of them? Any advice would be sincerly appreciated!!!! :unsure:
