So I've got 2 spots to fill. And I'd so very much like to, PRONTO! But I don't want to take just anyone just so I will have the spots filled. Thus far I have turned away:
1) Teacher family with 3yo and 4yo. I am not going to give up 25% of my income for 12 weeks of the year to save THEM money. No way. The mom snorted at my pro-rated weekly rate.
2) Family with 3yo and newborn. I already have 2 babies, and with their ages I could add another, but it would be so tough for the first 5 months or so.
3) Family with 1yo and almost 3yo. But they "need" hours 6:45-5:15. Originally asked for 6:30-5:30, but when I commented that was really long hours, the mom said they could shorten it a tad. No thanks. Still way too early for me.
So I've got to stay strong and hold out for something perfect. It has been only 2 days, but I get so antsy when it comes to a short paycheck. This part of daycare ****-diddly-ucks!
