I'm losing my patience with my interviews.
I've never had such a streak of terrible and weird interviews and I'm starting to worry that I'm not going to find someone by the end of the month.
This process started out with a dry streak I'd never seen before but looking aroud at the age of the babies in the area I was confident calls would start coming. And they did!
One interview the father got really up in arms about sickness while his wife tried to tell him that she's read my policy and its quite good and fair. He then said that he wanted me to tell him if any of the OTHER children were sick so he could skip that day of care and use it the next week. When I told him that I would be able to OWE parents days due to other's illnesses he did not seem impressed.
Last night I had an interview with a lady and her sister (who is an ECE and therefore knows what to look for). The mother stay outside with her baby. Her sister told me it was because the baby was upset (This morning my current child went out of her way to point out that the baby was fine and that mom was just sitting there). Anyways so I gave sister the tour and talked a little. She then said she would go get her sister. The mother came in with the baby and sister stayed outside this time. She I eend up giving mom the same tour. at the end of the tour she leaves. I asked her to stay so I can get to know her little one and mom told me that her daughter was upset because it was her dinner time. (the kid was laughing and googling). She then said she'd call me and let me know. I told heer that if she was interested I'd need her to come for another interview as I would like to get to know her child and ask some questions. She looked confused about this.
This is how things are going right now . . . .
I know my home and my program are more than parents expect from a daycare. I know I'm good at this . . . . WTF?????!!!!!
