Hmm dunno. I have never actually signed one on, but have had an interview where the family hated my dog and it didn't work out. I recently received an email from a current family's friend who wants me to take her daughter in mid May, or "whenever you have a vacancy". I am a little annoyed, because I kinda feel obligated as the current family knows my availability. Also, I was going to amend my policy that families either pay my part time rate for three days or under, or they pay for a full time slot for 4-5 days a week. Now I feel like I can't do that, because I am sure the current family discussed my rates with her friend.

So yeah...not sure how I feel about referrals. Will let you know in a few months, maybe!
