Red flags in interviews

[teddybeartots]

I am going to say that first-time-parents would be a big red flag for me, in the future. From experience they are more clingy with their babies, want constant updates (which i understand to a certain extent, but I am not going to text u after every nap, meal, poop, playtime...u will be filled in at the end of the day). It is almost another job, trying to assure them that their child is okay. All of which, makes my job harder. I have made big strides with one baby but at the beginning of every week, I am starting all over again; sleep training, playing independently etc....it is honestly an up hill battle.
Another red flag, would be the negotiating, guilt, "confusion" over the rates. This is my income, this is a career I have chosen, this is how I provide for my family, this...is....a....bu siness. My incentive not to be sick, is that I LOSE PAY. Am I entitled to vacation...u betcha! The hours for the daycare is time that I am caring for your child-ren, without taking into account that I am also preparing meals/snacks/planning menus/activities etc, after the daycare is closed....Believe me, the amount you pay is nothing compared to what I would love to charge. I feel insulted when they negotiate, as if I am entitled to less. What do u think I do all day? lol
