Not wanting to do extended mornign hours every day.....

[apples and bananas]

Don't do it! You WILL burn out. I used to do it.. and it sucks!

I had to terminate care because the hours were just too early.

Just let her know. "thank you for your interest however I have an open time of 7:30 and due to my closing time of 5:30 I am not able to extend that to a 6am start. If your situation changes and you would like to meet with me to discuss care with in my hours I'd be happy to have you over for an interview. "

Done... You dont' have to appologize for it. Whatever you do, don't do the 6am.

I still do it the odd morning for one family and those are my longest days! So tired.
