I say this in every interview too, that we are interviewing each other because they need the perfect daycare for their family and I need a family who will fit into the daycare with the routines and the children who are already enrolled. Sometimes parents are just so shocked at this, but it weeds out the ones who think they can push me around. If they want to be the boss they need a nanny.
