Fun & Care, I think we interviewed the same person...LOL. And I always tell them to bring spouse and child as I do not want to have to do two interviews!
Intervieiwing is tiring for sure, but I look at it as advertising. I know the families that come for interviews will tell their friends about my daycare and I have had people referred to me in that way. I am fortunate to be able to have 2-3 families interviewed for one spot and than I choose...but those I turn away always spread the word in future I even had a little "open-house" type thing a month or two ago for those families looking for care in the future when I don't know if I will have spots...I figure they will spread the word and when I do have a spot, I will let them know and if they don't need it, maybe they will know someone who will Good luck!
