I can't believe I've had 3 calls in 2 days..
and as I'm currently helping out parents this week with extra care I've got one parent visiting with her 4 children tomorrow and I will also have my 4 mindees here.. :panic: .. could be mad..
and then have 5 mindees here the following day and a 20 month old visiting...
thursday isn't much quieter for me so wasn't much point in re-scheduling for then and next week is first week of summer hols so would be just a busy then... :)
I kind of feel I need to get some activities set up for these visits or it could be mad.. what activities would you do ? or have laid out to go?
have you ever had parents visit when you are busy.. and can you give me some tips on how to be good and successful? xx:)
ALSO.. what do you say to parents if your gut feeling is unsure if the family or kids would fit with you and your setting? how can we say one minute we are available and then say sorry .. not available? :)
