Well after being down about having to turn down a parent and then regretting it I now have 2 parents who want my services - well not met them yet and I'm not sure about the best way to go about it. Obviously I want to keep my options open...
Parent 1 - 4 year old girl going to school September and 2 year old boy. Not sure what they want but might be full time for little boy and after school for couple of evenings a week but mum wasn't sure what she wanted to do. Downside - would have to rush to pick up DD from school and dash down country roads to pick up mindee from her school. Not needed until September.
Parent 2 - 18 month old girl who 's parents live in my village and are looking to move their DD from current childminder who is near mum's work. Would want 8am- 5pm with 6pm on Thursdays and alternate Tuesdays. Not sure when she wants to start.
Both mums are full-time teachers and would only want term-time care.
I'm waiting for mum 1 to get back to me with what she wants - she said she'd phone by Thursday.
Would you in the meantime arrange to meet mum 2, who wants to meet me and come and see my facilities?
I thinking of ringing mum 2 back this evening and arranging a meeting whilst waiting for mum 1 to get in touch. TBH I think that I'd prefer the 18 month old girl as it means less running around for me.
Help!!!
