Feeling Guilty About Upcoming Termination Notice

[Peacefulbird]

Hi.

I would also say do not feel guilty, and that happens some children or families are just not the right fit.

When you show that you're worried "which is posted in your comment", that means that you're stressed with the situation. Explain that to them. Be honest and tell them that it is affecting your well being (very important for doing this job), and because of your commitment to other families as well, you had to take this irrevocable desicion. Wishing for them to find a right fit and support for their child and them.

Thanks Peacefulbird. I guess the thing that worries me the most is that I’m terminating a family that is expecting a baby in a few months & is going to be scrambling to find other arrangements. Personally, I feel that a nanny or grandma would be best since mom wants personalized care for DCG.

There's never a right time to terminate a family. Just like there's never a right time to have an opening. This isn't personal, it's business. You cannot fill your spaces with quality client's when they are occupied by people who have no respect for you, your income, your home or your business.
