    I am sure you rocked it ~ IME interviewing is like riding a bike once you get going it all comes back to you
    Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect."

    I spent all night going "oh, I forgot to mention...!"
    But all in all, they went well. First family has contacted me to say that they feel good, they just wanted to see my policy handbook. I have emailed it to them. Seems like a pretty decent fit, too.
    Second family was a little more vague. I got the feeling that they liked me, but maybe didn't love me. And that they were still looking, which is fine with me. (especially since they asked if I was flexible with my closing time!!)
    We shall see....

    Flexible with your closing time? Cross them off the list! After people leave from an interview I always send a thank you email with the contracts and forms attached so they can read them over at their leisure. I don't give out paper any more. That also gives me an opportunity to tell them a couple things I forgot. I do the same as you, think of a couple important things after they leave that I didn't cover. It never fails.
