When Interviewing DCP For DC Spot, Do You Ask About Their Employment?

[Snowmom]

Yes, I ask where they work and where they live. I have also passed on potential clients based on how far their drive was.

I don't do late.

I prefer clients who live and work in the general area.

I have only recently started interviewing however I do ask their occupation on the form and most of the time it has come up during interviews. Given that I offer a shorter day with the option of additional hours I naturally ask about their schedule and their scheduling needs.

I have an intake form for prospective clients to fill out at the tour. One of the questions is employer/type of employment. It might also help you to identify a different need of care in your community if you ask this type of question. Also, maybe think about requiring an enrollment deposit to cover the two-week notice.
