I always reply to them with "Nice try!" Lol. I don't ever hear back from them after!
I'm in the process of trying to fill some spots asap. ( My mat. leave ends at the end of april 2015) Im new in this business and I have to say its pretty stressfull these last few days, every time the phone rings I run to it hoping its for my daycare..
Anyways, I'v been advertising like crazy lately and just a few hours after posting an add on Kijiji I received a very very strange phone call from a man.
He wanted to know if I still had spots left and how many. I told him I didnt have any spots reserved for now. He told me he was looking for spots for 3 to 5 childrens...:blink:
I immediatly said 3 to 5 childrens?? :blink: Well... do you have 3 or you have 5? How old are they? He said they are all in the group of 1 year old... hummm..:huh:
I asked where he was calling from then he proceed to say he is from toronto and he his calling for a group of family that lives in my town and he had a really hard time saying my town name....
I said his story sounded a little bit complicated, maybe that the parents could call me directly and we could meet to discuss all of this....? :huh:
He then responded that he would look into it and call me back tomorrow morning... which of course he never did...

Once I hung up with him I didnt know what to think, what was that all about? Was he checking if I was taking in too many childrens or I dont know..
It was an unknown # and I could hear a LOT of people in the background talking at the same time like a calling center...
Has anyone ever had a call like this before? Im new to this... my friend who also owns a day care for a few years now told me not to stress over this but I'm the kind of person who stresses over everything.... :p
