Good luck! I hope it works out well.
I had to make a quick decision as well about a client that needed care fast. Their current provider isn't happy with his development when it comes to eating (14 mos and still can't spoon feed). I don't think it will be an issue for me as my youngest is 18 mos so I will have a bit of extra time available for him and also I am kind of from the school of "leave them with it and they'll learn how to do it eventually when they get hungry." I don't get stressed out if a kid is not eating which this provider apparently is.
