Hi ladies,
A friend of mine knew I was having a hard time filling spaces and she had a friend call for care. She needed part time care for her JK little one. Two days a week then 3, two than 3 per month. I committed and said yes. She was suppose to drop off a deposit on Thurs of last week and didn't show.
She just called today to say that she only needs care for 1 day a week than 2 days consecutive per month. Eventually leading to 2 days/ 3 days but not knowing when?
Having perspective clients who are looking for full time care I said it isn't worth me holding the space for only 6 days a month and I’m sorry but she will have to find alternate care. I told her if she couldn’t find care than I can help her out until she does.
She is mad at me but from a business standpoint what else can I do?
Now I feel like I've ruined something for my friend!
