      Something like this is what she should get ....

      Hi Susan,

      It's me, Wendy Wonderful. I just wanted to follow up on your two week notice and remind you that I will be using your 2 week deposit and apply it towards your final two weeks of care. I will have Little Johnny's belongings ready to go for you at pick on Friday September X since that will be his last day here.

      It was great having you guys here. I sure will miss Johnny

      Thanks!

      Hi,

      I was interested in some information about your opening.

      Etc.


      *** Just letting her know that I know would be enough for me to go along with the rest of my 2 weeks with a big fat huge smile on my face ::

      And then when she walks in every morning for the next 2 weeks I would be really nice and ALWAYS have a huge smile on my face. I might even chuckle to myself a few times. I would find the whole thing pretty damn amusing
      This is great!

      Anyway you decide to do it, I would ABSOLUTELY let her know that it was you!

        Just goes to show we really can't count on any of our clients staying can we? My curiosity would want to know what made them decide to look for care elsewhere if they were so happy with your care. And definitely, let them know it was your ad on CL they inquired about!

            I would have answered her and asked some questions about her opinion of her "current" provider.. just to see what she says about you.
