Hey everyone!
Today I had my first real enquiry, I say real as before xmas I had an autistic child for a few days whilst her mother cleaned and shopped etc and I had my niece. The parents are coming on Monday to view etc, she has a 1yo and a 3yo but the placement will only be for the 1yo at the moment starting in June. I know it is early for me to charge a retainer but I'm a little unsure. I do not know hours yet either so I can't work out prices until monday. Here are my questions...
-would it be rude to send her away and then work out the costs? esepcially as I would have to ask about term time/ non-term time hours.
-if I did take the retainer to hold the place, I know it would be frowned upon to take another child but this placement wouldnt be until June...
Actually the more I'm writing this and thinking about it I'm unsure whether to say yes at all seems as it is a while away...oh I don't know lol! Any advice?? I have read so many other threads but I'm still a little lost! :) Thank you sooooo much in advance!!
