OMG No I Didn't - Quick, What Do I Do?

[daycare]

So i posted about a lady that emailed looking for care wanting to tour during business hours.

I send her the email and she calls me. As soon as I hear her talking I think hey where have I heard that voice before. OMG it was the crazylady who already toured my DC about 6 months ago. Her two kids destroyed my entire houe in less than 20 min. I am not joking either. Nothing was left unturned.

She wants to come this saturday at noon. I told her, I'm so sorry one of the kids needs me, can I get back to you. So I hung up!!!

Oh wow this family is super crazy..no money in the world could pay me to watch her little monster....

what should I do....I am surprised she also has not said anything to me that she was here once before. UGH.

Uh, oh. Can you just tell her that the spot has already been filled?

lmao I already used that last time beause i was too chicken to tell her that her child was not a good fit for our group............ughhhhh

Tell her the truth. If she was with you 6 months ago, and now looking for someone again, she must know there is something wrong on HER end .

The truth may hurt, but sometimes we need that medicine to get better.

I think I will call her back and ask her if she was here before...I could be wrong....lord please let me be wrong...If she says yes, I will just tell her that from what I could remeber best, her son just didn't seem like a good fit for our group.......ugh so hard to tell someone that WHY?

Or should I email her??

That's tough. if she approached you through email I don't see why you couldn't get rid of her by email. LOL::

I'd do what you said, call her and find out for sure and just let her know that her child wasn't a good fit.

Good Luck!! The part of the job I hate.

#1 keep better records. Have a notebook handy for calls/emails so that you can go back and look at the name and number and put your little notations in that notebook so you can remember who they are.

If it is the same woman, you could tell her that you're not equipped to handle pint sized tornados. ::
