"Not just needing care" from a Parent Interview UGH!!!

[mom-in-alberta]

Given that she was only in your house for 10 minutes (I don't think I have ever had an interview less than an hour or so!) I don't see how she can accurately assess what you would be providing. I agree that she seems to think that only a centre based arrangement will give her little DARLING the care he NEEDS (can you hear my "fancy" voice, hahah).
Good bye and good riddance!! I defintely wouldn't take it personally.

On the paperwork issue - I charge a registration fee of $50 which covers the ink for printing all the packages I handed out till I found the family, pays for a change pad, bib, anything I need specific for the child and the rest goes towards replacing equipment. I don't feel so bad this way about giving printed copies to 10 families before finding the family I keep.

Based on her attitude consider yourself spared Nothing worst then having a bad parent to work with!

*hugs*

you deserve a better family to be in your home, i find that respond rude, and not needed.

what they need to say is , "we decided to put our kid in another daycare"....simple as that. And we go on business as usual.

She probably only went to satisfy your client/her friend who raved and recommended you. She was probably only wanting center care anyway. Like you said, every interview has resulted in a client so as the line goes.....it's not you, it's her. Remember, who you refer is a reflection of you so your client is obviously very happy with you.
