I had an interview with a family back in August '13. They seemed to be a good fit for their 8 month old. The loved my daycare, but had an issue with my hours, so they didn't enroll. They called back in Dec. to let me know DCD got a promotion and could now work with my hours, but I was full. I have a DCB leaving end of May, so I posted an opening on my website for June and they called immediately wanting the spot. DGC is now 18 months.
Since I had already interviewed them before I just asked them to meet up, so I could go over the handbook, state forms and such. They asked if I would be willing to take on their 5 yr. old for just the summer (attending all day Kindi in the fall), he seemed like a mild mannered lovely boy during the interview, so I agreed. They said all the right things. They'd agreed to my hours and my 1 day off for summers (Thursday's) & They wanted to sign on. They needed someone new because their current DCP was moving to AR.
SOooo... I get the state forms returned with the contract and deposit, and it's listed that the 6 yr. is not potty trained for poop
He is seeking therapy for it, and is medicated to help, but has NOT gone 2 weeks accident free (and felt it necessary to tell me with the medicine, it's not pretty) EEEWWW
. Why didn't they mention this??? Also, they mention he is lactose intolerant (which I do not have any experience caring for someone that is lactose intolerant and am not really prepared to make separate meals.)
They are the right ages, they'll be here for 3 days a week during the summer. I do have a 2 week trial period where I guess I could try it out. I do feel bad, they're current DCP is leaving May 23rd, and they're waiting to start here June 9th. There's been a lot of back and forth and they signed the contract and gave a deposit -- but, I feel this information should have been mentioned BEFORE all of this. Do I tell them now after receiving this information, I no longer feel comfortable watching the 6 yr. old and possibly lose them both? It's only the summer, 3 days and should I just **** it up and try it. I'm so confused. :confused:
