I don’t hand out any documents during an interview.
They have been given my website link after contacting me, and then I do a lengthy phone interview to screen them to see if we’re a good fit for one another.
Then I meet the family at my home.
They generally let me know if they want the space in less than 24 hours, and I take a deposit and get them to do a contract over the next few days.
I don’t give out references until I know that this is a family I want in my care.
