Didn't Read My Contract . . . .

[ladyjbug]

Cadillac, I like to let it slip once in a while to my current families that I have a waiting list and people contact me all the time about spaces. It reminds my clients that they need to value their space in a not so subtle way. When you talk to that parent tonight make sure you let them know that they need you more than you need them! Mention the other 6 interviews that you have set up.

Yep. Couldn't agree more with this. I was actually in the newspaper in my area regarding the huge demand for childcare and they mentioned the size of my waitlist. I sent all my clients the link. They were sure a lot more appreciative than they had been! It's possible that this guy is just clueless about the process. However, I would think a truly golden parent would have not made this YOUR problem to solve. Everything was there in black and white for him. Best of luck to you whatever you decide.
