The other thing I just thought of was that I could offer the mom the other full time spot on the basis that they send their current girl full time now to make up for some of the lost income that I would be missing out on if I did have the chance to fill it.
This current family has already moved from one day a week to 3 days/wk so that they can hold a FT spot for the 2.5 year old (she can't start those extra days until the middle of April because of the 3 under 3 rule - and that's when one of my 2yob turns 3 but that's besides the point).
I'm kind of worried that I might be pushing my luck though as who would want to send their child full time if they are at home anyways.
What would you guys say?
