Thanks ladies. I think I'll do that. I like to get an idea though, of what the child is like with other children, that's usually why I have my son there. But lately, as I said, the interviews have been in the evenings and he's pretty fussy. I'll just get my husband to look after him once we've done the initial meet and greet. Especially bc the little boys coming over if 2.5, so he definitely has some habits I was to look out for ie: hitting, not sharing and so on.
I know I come off as a bit of a frazzled person (CAUSE I AM) LOL so I try to stay as calm as I can, and only answer what is asked and try not to offer up too much information. I have a problem with being too honest sometimes, and sometimes, it's just not a good thing lol The last interview was SO good in so many ways, but SO bad in many other ways. The dad and I would have been good friends lol but I don't know if they would been good clients. I need to try to stay focused, think as much as I can without allowing the parents to interfere with what I am trying to get accross. (My last interview, the mom said in her email that she was really nervous about putting her daughter in childcare, and some of my questions during the interview is what are your values as a family, what are you trying to implement into your child, and what are you looking for in a daycare. When I asked that, the dad answered. What I should have done was accepted the dads answer, but then asked mom what she felt. She's from Mexico, just moved here, and I got the feeling that he runs the show. But I should have made her feel more included.) And I'm going to try not to dwell on the things that COULD HAVE BEEN and just learn from them and move on to the next family lol

I'll let you know how the interviews go. So far, I've confirmed and they're all still coming! yay! lol
