Request to see the child at the first meeting

[Sarah]

Me I leave it up to the parents. Personnally, I would rather have the parents first, to discuss about all the details, see if we get along, if we share the same values in raising kids. Then, if we like each other, I would meet the kid.

So far, all the parents chose to bring their kids!

And I never sign the day of the visit. So they can call back, email for any other questions that they didn't ask!

Wow strange. I have never ever ever had a parent suggest coming without the child. I can't even imagine. I just think it is a given that they would bring their child and have always had children come to every single interview. I would be kind of suspicious if someone said they were looking for childcare but showed up without a child at my door - I would probably think they were trying to get into the house to rob me.
Yup...I am paranoid. lol
