    So not coming from centre care, coming from a daycare provider over ratio who this morning had to do a school drop off and leave 4 under two year olds with her 80 year old grandmother without notifying parents or getting permission. These parents are concerned with potentially what else they aren't being told.

    Anyway, interview went very well and mum and dad were ready to sign there and then but as I insist with every family, go home, sleep on it, talk about it then let me know.

    Kid isn't fully weaned which mum blames on the fact that he was a preemie and they rock him to sleep at night although apparently naps fine in the day. Potential issues but typical first time parent things and seem to be a mom thing not a dad thing. I was very clear on how I would handle it and she was totally okay with me doing whatever works best at daycare and reinforcing these corrections at home. They seem like great people and no major red flags for me so I think it's worth a try and we will see what they decide :-)

    Wow! Is it something in the water? I just did an interview for a girl who's current provider admitted to mom that she just took on more before and after kids and now has too many.....! Anyways, glad to hear that it went well!
