Yup I hate interviewing

I agree that just like dating there is that sweet spot of waiting to follow up so as not to seem desperate ... finding the perfect fit for parents is hard and taking a chance on someone NEW means an extra leap of faith for a parent - trying your best not to focus on being new might help?

Is it normal in your area to hold a spot for a teacher without payment of some kind ? Cause here offering that would be a newbie red flag for some teachers - if everyone else is charging and one persons not they might get that "too good to be true vibe" as result.

Sending ya filler up vibes
