Hello ladies, I'm logged out for Privacy.
Anyway I have decided to close up shop, the tax season hit me hard and I've decided it's just not worth the head-ache of running my own business anymore when I'm still paying back what I owed last year still! Anyway,
I put in a few applications and I was offered an interview at a Federal owned GSA daycare. She would be paying me $22hr based on my experience and education. I would be the lead infant teacher in an infant-only room (6w-18m). Hours would be M-F from 9am -6pm with all Federal holidays off. I would get the same visual/dental and insurance and 401k options as other Federal employees. I would need to do a Fed. background check etc. which I'm not worried about at all.
It sounds like a dream, it's triple what I made as a home provider! However I had never heard of the place, the advertisement didn't include the name (probably for safety since it is on Gov. property) and only said it was an "NAEYC accredited private daycare center". After she game the name and location I googled it (of course). What I am worried about is the reviews I found about this center...many of them are from this past month. And the person being mentioned, "Joan", is the lady who called and wants to interview me.
Some of these reviews, especially about the director "Joan" are just very....disheartening. I am scheduled to interview tomorrow (Feb. 3rd) at 3pm. I wonder if she even knows the reviews are there? She did ask a lot of strange questions when I think back on the phone-interview: "How long do you plan to stay? I need people who aren't going to get up and leave after 3 weeks." "How often do you get sick? I only tolerate 3 days a year...I need reliability. What about your kids, do they get sick a lot?" ......which are legitimate questions but she was a bit rude about it. :/ I'm going to go into the interview with high hopes that these are just reviews left by disgruntled former employees and terminated parents. But.....sigh....just don't know what to think!
