I had an interview at 1 PM. It is about 1:20. Can't say it breaks my heart, mom only wants one day a week and has already tried to get me down on price. I told her we would talk about it at interview because I wanted time to think. I don't have any daytime kids right now, so if she isn't here at 1:30 and go to town, the playroom needs a new ceiling fan. Is half hour a long enough window?
Interview is going to no show

For me one day a week is considered Drop-in care and I always charge more for it, but then I don't lock them into a contract either. Gives me an out if I need the spot for a PT/FT - of course draw back is if they give at least 12 hrs notice they can cancel without being charged- Flag

A half hour is plenty of time to give someone. I'm amazed at how many parents fail to show up for scheduled interviews these days. I never used to have that problem when I first stated. Now it seems to be the norm rather than the exception.- Flag

. I told DH I totally expect to hear from her again, but IF I even consider taking her on it is going to cost her more and a full three week payment) one week payment and two weeks deposit this time up front. She won't do that
she will say she doesn't have the money. (At least I hope she does I am counting on it
).

Heck yeah... Leave; I would put a note on the door stating that you left after 30 minutes because she was a no show. She obviously doesn't respect you or your time.

Why do I never follow my gut?????
She calls this evening and says "I am sorry I got called into work last minute". I told her "I usually don't reschedule no call no shows but okay". The girl is 17 months. So I let them come interview and she says "well if we bring her we will bring her cups and bottles". I had gone over most of the handbook and told them to read the rest and I said "you will find in your handbook that I will not give bottles to children over 12 months". Mom says "oh that will never work".:confused::confused: I said "okay then well I won't change that policy". Now I know why the girl is a "finicky eater" she gets filled up on milk in bottles, why eat food?- Flag
