Sorry the family (and agency) is being inconsiderate BlueRose! I'm interviewing with two agencies next week . I have one private interview this weekend (keeping my fingers crossed), so I will likely only take one more child after that. I keep hoping private care comes through before the agency finds me someone!
I wish you all the best in finding a private client. If you do decide to go with an agency, I hope it works out better for you. I know have 2 interviews set up for private clients looking to start in September. I hope that at least one works out.
