I interviewed a family last week- seemed great, little girl was cute....mom was having some issues transferring from FT to PT after mat leave. They assured me multiple times they were going with me and would contact me in a few days to start care. That was a week ago and I havent heard from them.
I got contacted last night by a woman needing care for a 1yr old to start in August. 4 days a week which would really help us out $ wise.
Im wondering if I should wait for the other family to get back to me, ask for a holding fee (Im not even sure how much as Ive never done that) from the family for August or just go with the second family and suck up the loss of income until August?
Thanks
