Very Frustrated

[5 Little Monkeys]

Oh no!! I'm so sorry that happened to you

It's easy to say that we'd take the family on Saturday but who knows how we'd feel if we were in the situation. I think it was nice of you to give the other family the benefit of the doubt but I'm so sorry it didn't work out in your favour! I'd personally tell the other family what happened and state, "if you don't/can't attend our next meeting, I will be moving on"

I do interviews one at a time and if a family wants to sign on the spot, and if I like them, I do it. It's happened a handful of times so I just do it this way now as than I usually end up just doing one interview. You sound like a great daycare provider so I'm sure your spot will fill soon

Babydom....I feel for you!! About 3 years ago, I lost 3 all at once....to preschool and a mom was laid off. I still remember that feeling of shock, sadness and panic!!! I think within the month though, all spaces filled. It will work out, good luck!!
