Rude People And No Shows

What do u give them so they know the policies? Wasted paperwork has been a problem here. I make up the packets and if they seem interested and want to start I give the packet. I have had a few never come back and 1 girl came back 2 weeks later saying she misplaced the packet for her 2 kids so I gave 2 more sets and she still never came claiming she lost her job. That's 4 sets of forms wasted on 1 parent. If the interview is going well I give the handbook to take home and tell them even tho I ran through the basics they have to read it all (they probably dont do it anyway but a copy has to be supplied to every parent for them to keep) When/if they come back everything is signed and they keep the handbook and a copy of the contract page of course.

if you go to visaprint you can make a pamphlet with quick basic stuff on it. It doesn't cost alot and when they come back then then they can have a contract.

I will call the parent about 2 hours before the interview to remind them an let them know if plans change please call so that we can reschedule for a later date and time. If they don't answer or return my call I know they are not comming.


I have a small packet for interviewing. It's a little expensive for
Me to do it, but I don't interview often so it's not a huge loss. I make sure they are interested in coming back again for another interview and if so give it to them. Then schedule another appointment for a few days out to give them time to read the info.

I have had one family sign on the spot.
Also once they start I copy all papers and give them back the papers in the folder so they have copies of everything.

I do the same as Nannyde. If they don't call to confirm...the interview is cancelled.
