    Default 1st Enquiry!

    Hi there,
    Got my first phone call tonight. Parent had seen my details on the Childcare link website (only went on on 21st Nov). She wants 3 full days a week for her 9 month old son when she goes back to work in February. They are coming for a visit on Friday afternoon!!

    Well...both Mum and Dad turned up and were really nice. Baby is adorable!!
    Only problem is that Dad will be working offshore so they would want me (if they chose me, they are seeing 3 others) to have him for the 3 days for 3 weeks then not so often for the next 3 weeks when Dad onshore. I explained about having to charge them something due to loss of a potential place and money for those hours and they were ok with that. Not sure if I could manage on much less than what I had worked out for the original hours mentioned though. Think it might have to be a 'no' should they ring and say they wanted me to have baby
    Actual 'interview' went well though

    Glad it went well, even if you have to say no at least it should have given you some experience and confidence for the next time.

    It's a difficult one with the dad being offshore, they will probably find it hard to find someone what can accomodate that.

    Well done though!

    That is great news

    Maybe you could come to some sort of arrangment regarding hours etc

    If this is your first child it would be better than nothing- maybe you could help them until they could find someone else

    Or just try it for a while

    Well done for doing well with the interview like it has been said it gives you the experience for the next time

    Good luck whatever you decide to do
