Is There A "Perfect" DCF??

I have one (almost). Their family ALWAYS keeps their sick kids at home, they ALWAYS pay on-time, via bank to bank transaction, so I only have to check to make sure it is there, they are polite, respectful of my family, like-minded, friendly, and their kids are pretty darn good for 2 year olds. They are nice to my own kids, caring, always feed, bathe, brush their kids teeth and hair, etc etc. Clearly, they love their children!!! I said ALMOST, because they are gone 3 months out of the year and I miss that income, but I love the kiddos and it makes it worth it for me to save up the other 9 months out of the year.

Aw, you guys are so lucky!! I am interviewing a potential client this pm and decided to try the staggered interview thing. She's a new mom, with a 6mo girl who has only been with gramma up until now so I'm kinda nervous.

I told her bring gramma so she is .

Good luck and good for you (in regards to the interview process you decided to go with) Keep us posted! Sending good vibes your way! happyface

I have a few families that rank WAY up there.

I also have a few that are just ok.

I have 1 that frustrates me, questions policies, has constant disregard for my rules (although i don't think dcd realizes). DCM on the other hand is fabulous! She's courteous, on time, sends gifts over for me, etc.

And, 1 of my families that used to be my favorite has dropped in the ranks. They paid late 3 times in the past year, asked for me to accommodate an out of town trip which resulted in opening about 20 minutes earlier 2 days, I got a nice Christmas bonus the past 2 years but a big fat NOTHING this past Christmas and now that DCM is pregnant, she said something about dropping both kids down to 2 days per week. I haven't even bothered engaging in that conversation yet. I'm sure they will leave when I tell them no. Might as well milk it til June.
