    Yes. If I loved that client and that child and they offered $$ on the spot then yes I would fill the spot Right then and there and tell other interviews sorry spot no longer available. I have done this before actually.

    Now that is just me. I know how some parents especially moms get desperate and want a secure spot right away so if this mom was crying for my spot and I liked the family, I'd go with her. But I can also see ur pt and think ya that's not perfessional I need to honour the other interviews.

    You can't do anything now. It totally sucks! And I'm sorry it happen to u all you can do it learn from this experience. One..... other caregivers do have merit if they say a parent is not good. U were good to give benefit of doubt but once she canceled that first interview I would have said ok sorry if u don't come tonight then the spot is gone as the other caregivers tried to warn u. And again if a mom comes with $$ in hand, ur spot is open and u like then....take it!

    It will be ok though. You can only move forward. Can't do anything about the past. You will fill your spot soon!! I am sure.

    I just lost my whole group.....4 children to a local preschool so I'm having a great morning too!!! Hahah!!
