I had the worst parent interview ever last week!
It wasn't them or their kids - it was ME!! and my sieve brain :laughing: They came when I was working, which is never the best for me as I am always distracted.
I sat on floor playing with kids and they asked me a few questions, but I forgot to show any of my paperwork, I didn't show them round the rest of the house, didnt introduce them to the dogs, I didn't go through the contract, or ask any questions about their child..basically I was absolutely pants :D
Well they decided to take the space on the spot and mum came round the next day to sign contracts...at which time I showed her round house etc etc!!
I apologised for being so rubbish and she said - my website was amazing, the atmosphere was lovely, she could see the kids all loved me and she had had 3 unrelated recommendations for me :clapping::clapping:
I was so pleased!
Just wanted to post this to hopefully make some feel better if they have had a bad interview. Sometimes its the things we do and not what we say that makes all the difference!!
