    When I was looking for care for my oldest, I had 8 pages of questions attached to a clipboard. I have a background in business. I was very uncomfortable with having someone else watch my son and I didn't want to forget to ask anything.

    When I have people coming for interviews now, I ask them to write down any questions they might have. So far none have brought any.

    The fact that she didn't smile and was interrupting you might have me questioning whether or not I want to work with her.

    However, to be completely honest, I'm pretty sure that would be me looking for daycare for my daughter. I get nervous/anxious, so I may not smile due to that and I know I find myself interrupting people when I am anxious. Definitely not on purpose! I am one to have my list of questions, make sure they were answered even if I shot them out instead of working them into conversation lol.... This basically happened when I was looking for a daycare to put my daughter in part-time when she was just a baby... I am sure they thought I was annoying lol... but I know they are happy with me now because I am extremely organized, always communicate with them about any issues that may arise on my side or theirs, and I am very pleasant!

    My suggestion would be to set up a second meeting and see how that goes!
