Within the last year I have held childcare spots for a few families who either left on mat. leave or interviewed me when they were pregnant. All 3 of these families ended up not needing care. For the one family I held the spot for the woman's entire mat. leave. How do other daycares deal with this? It is so frustrating! They talk like they want the spot really badly but then they don't. Help! I have another interview next week for a child in 2013. Perhaps I shouldn't take interviews so early? It's just that some parents want to get things sorted out before the baby arrives. They get my name from current daycare families recommending me.
