Just this minute had my very 1st phone call!!! woohooo :clapping:

Not been on for a while, I have been feeling a little down (usual day to day worries) and this has just cheered me up so much! She got my number from netmums. Unfortunately I didn't say much on the phone :blush: :mad: I was just shocked and totally not expecting it! She needs weekend care - I didn't even ask about the child :blush: !!!!!!! I just said yes yes yes lol!

Mum is popping in for a chat tomorrow at 5 :eek: best get my professional head on!

Any tips for this silly dipstick? :laughing:

Hi Sammie

Nice to see you here with some good news

Just be yourself dont panic and write a list of things that you need to ask so you are well prepared tomorrow
Likes and dislikes of the child - any allergy
Hours - your fees
Show her your folder with policies etc etc etc etc
Show her around your home
Chat to the child - sit on the floor if it is a young child and interact the parent will expect and want to see you do this

The list goes on I am sure you will be ok

Good luck let us know how it goes

Really pleased for you thats great news.

It seems that net mums is a good place to advertise - I had one of my first enquiries from that site.

Like Angel says - a list written up before they arrive is a good way of maing sure you ask all the right questions.

Good luck & let us know :)

Thank you everyone! Will take all the advice given on board and try my hardest to keep it cool and actually talk :) :panic:

Have a thousand and one things to do today, got mindee arriving shortly then take him to pre-school, go trafford centre find a present for a friends 30th, come home tidy up, appointment with the mum at 5, then I need to get ready and go to friends 30th party at 7:30pm :panic: I hope I fit it all in!

If I get chance I will let you know how the meeting goes later, if not I will update you all tomorrow.

Have a lovely day everyone x
