New client .....Would you keep them?

[Other Mummy]

Huge RED FLAG when they asked to "borrow" the money from their deposit to cover the cost of the 1st week in care!! Who does that??

Personally, I would not keep them, especially for only 1 day a week. If you do decide to keep them, DO NOT allow them to pay you at pick up. Only at drop off. No pay, no stay. Otherwise they will take advantage and suddenly that "deposit money" will be gone and you'll be out of $$$

Keep advertising. Replace.
