They had told me at the first interview that they would only need care until the end of June 2013 (the last day of care is already on the contract). They may need care starting again next September but aren't sure yet and asked if I would hold the two spots over the summer next year (with no payment) if they did need care again. I said that I would be looking to fill the two full time spots but if the spots were available for next September they could come back. Or they can make partial payments and come for a day a week through the summer but they were not interested in paying to hold the spots.

I may not need to have two kids starting next summer anyway. I may just fill one spot starting next summer when their contract is over and from the looks of things I may have someone for the spot already. I fully expect that they would want to have their kids in the same daycare especially as they get older. When my kids were in care I didn't even consider splitting them up. I was honestly a bit surpristed that they were so willing to keep their daughter with me even though their son wouldn't be coming. I guess I should take that as a big compliment . I'll just wait and see what their plans are (and what my plans are) next Spring and go from there. In the meantime, I will enjoy my time with her
