Am I nuts for doing this?

....Its not like my phone is ringing off the hook, but hopefully that will change soon.....

There is no reason THEY need to know that ~ send the impression you are in demand and before you know it you WILL be in demand!

IMO it is the same concept as why so many people covet diamonds ~ the industry creates the illusion that they are 'rare' and 'you are lucky to have one' and therefore people see great value in them and will save and scrimp and do what they need to do to get one when in reality the average person cannot tell the difference between a diamond and cubic zerconia .... same with why people are willing to spend a 1000 a ticket to see a 'famous performer' and would walk right past that same performer in the subway because they do not 'value' the street musician the same way because he is not 'in demand' like the famous dude ~ and they actually did a research project on that recently

You are just as good as a diamond or the famous musician and there is nothing wrong with letting people KNOW that by marketing yourself as such

I will just let the grandmother know i have other interviews lined up. Who knows maybe the mom will find a way to get to Ottawa this weekend, if she thinks she might lose the spot. then again the grandmother might to like my daycare. But that just means there is someone better for the spot just waiting to find me.

This is a good decision. Meeting the grandmother is a preliminary interview, but you can't possibly make any promises without meeting the parents and the child. But the rule is that the first people who sign the contracts and pay the deposit and MEET WITH OUR APPROVAL are the people who get the space.

So the grandmother came and the whole interview lasted all of 10 min. She said that my website had already answered all their question, she just want to see the place and meet me. She also mentioned that I was the 6th daycare she had visited. Her daughter will be in town on Feb 4th.

She seemed very happy with everything. Who knows. Lets hope I fill the spot soon, with the right family, whom ever they might be.

That's great news. It's always nice to have a nice quick interview... who knows how mom will be though eh? Hopefully the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree on this one.

I would interview as well. When I'm filling space I interview everyone. You never know who will work out to be amazing!
