Interview You Know Won't Work

[daycarediva]

I had a parent complain about the Y sending her child home with a fever... I said 'well my policy is the same....'

I ask before interviewing if the child is currently in child care and if so, why they are leaving. I have had parents complain about the same policies I have, and I state that and say it won't be a good match before scheduling. I have had parents tell me it's cost, and I give them a quote before scheduling. Most of this I can weed out now before interviewing.

I've continued with the interview, and let them know afterwards I've filled the spot. I've had a few that I knew weren't going to work within a couple of minutes, and it ended up being a long drawn out interview...I wish I had a tactful and professional way to just end it and get them out of my house.

Its like a wave of irritation on both ends but both are going through the motions. I read peoples non verbal cues and expressions with a microscope even when I am not a part of a conversation.

Ever had a kid though that was with the parent. A kid that disrespected your belongings and looked at you like what are you gonna do and thy are old enough to know better. I don't know why the parents let them. I have had 2 interviews like that and if it happens again I will say do something about your kid or I don't think this relationship is gonna work.. I will say it because standing there staring is not gong to be a good working relationship. I bate those complainers that start in when you start the rules really they should just leave because it is just terrible. Illness rules Sanitation rules house rules are all necessary. If I hear another gripe I should say go find someone who will bend for everyone and see how long they stay open for everyone,..... ::
