Well she arrived about 2 mins after my last post.
Parent has just left now. It went ok (I think)
Her dd was v quiet - to b expected. but just before she left started playing with toys.
When they arrived showed parent my downstairs area and explained a litle about what toys I have outside (as all in garage)
Explained about going to various groups etc and let her look through my portfolio. I could see that she more ken about asking questions rather than looking and she said she was keen so I told her I had printed out the main points (fees/hours/policies/permission slip etc) and a business card so she can visit my website.
Then she advised that she was happy and would be probably be looking at 3 days a week but may need me a little longer . Told her thats fine (bummer forgot to mention after hours fees - but only gonna be half hour out of business hours do I just leave it at daily rate???)
Shes going to speak to her husband and hopefully come back at the weekend for him to see me. Then if all goes well start in 2 weeks.....:clapping:
However one downside....shes training to be a childminder...:( but as shes only just registered Im guessing 6 months before qualified and hopefully will have some more mindees by then....
I can relax now as Im totally shattered...got to get all planing/paperwork in order so ready if they go ahead..
Thanks for all your kind words. and support. What would I do about her hubby comiong.. explain the same as I did with mum .. and have contracts ready just in case ???
