    Talking So excited! First interview!

    I am excited and nervous and completely baffled all at the same time. I posted an ad on Kijiji, not really expecting any reactions because I know from reading on here that it often takes a long time to get that first child in.
    But tonight, after 3 days, I received a reaction! A mom with an 11 month old boy who wants to come by on the weekend to meet and chat. She asked a bunch of questions about practical stuff in her email, about payment, whether I preferred check or cash, and if I wanted to be paid weekly or bi-weekly.
    I took the opportunity in my reply to tell her right away that I need payment in advance, and that after a two week trial period there will be two weeks notice required to quit, and a few more things. When really what I wanted to do was jump up and down like a maniac and reply:"Pick me! Pick me! Please please pick me!!"
    I'm turning into a business woman!

    Any interview tips, hints, strategies, warnings, and everything else very much appreciated! Please help me not mess this up, dear seasoned daycare providers!

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
Updates
We expect providers to keep their listing and available openings up-to-date. However, to prevent oversights, openings expire after 45 days.
