Fingers crossed for me please folks!

So I have a very last minute interview scheduled for after daycare hours today. Dad called me this morning and was very brief, as is probably the way of men though right??? in my experience anyway so he checked with his wife about days and times that I am available after confirming the days and hours that they need fitted with my availability. Usually I would have scheduled it for another day but they need care asap as their centre has had staff leave and are now over ratio and they are concerned about this, and I have this 1 spot left which I so dearly want and need to fill, so all going well this will likely be a Monday start??? So please ladies cross your fingers, toes and pray for me that these are dream clients as I just don't have it in me to babysit more parents and also I didn't do my typical telephone interview and screening as dad was at work. Nothing screamed out at me but I truly hope tonight doesn't prove to be a waste of my time.

Okay enough pessimism, everything's going to be great!! lol

Good luck! At least the have experience in a daycare setting, usually parents coming from a centre aren't as hard to work with as first timers, just coming off maternity leave.

That's great !!! I hope it goes well !!!

[5 Little Monkeys]

Awesome!! Good luck...my fingers and toes are crossed!

I agree...with them coming from a centre, it should be a breeze as they will be used to group care and strict policies. I'm sure it will all work out!

Crossing everything that it goes well and they sign on tonight!

You know, sometimes the ones who need care fast are the best ones.

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.

[Secondtimearound]

Me too !! Torontokids ! Each child develops at their own rate . I'm sure they are happy you feel this way !!!
