Sometimes I am not particularly worried but if I feel I have gelled with the parents / child then yes I do feel nervous because I don't want to say something daft and lose the contract.
Good luck! :D

I normally feel nervous even after all these years. Its normal i think - after all you are selling yourself and your services to someone. Take a few deep breathes and i am sure if you are anything like me it will pass after you have chatted for a few mins.
Good luck with it:thumbsup:

I still feel nervous when I meet new parents. I'm fine when they arrive but have a wee panic before they come :laughing:
Good luck :thumbsup:

Woooo! well done Wendy :)
I sometimes get nervous, depends on how badly I want the space filling! Plus probably most of us soon learn that not everyone bothers to turn up so no point stressing out is there?
I am waiting on some parents coming this afternoon, for 5 monrings a week 9mo boy - but as I have 2 fters and am bringing in over £1000 a month already am quite relaxed about filling my remaining space!
I can usually combat nerves by having a mega clean ( like today) so even if they don't turn up, I have a sparkling house :clapping:

Yes I still get nervous! Had a lady round on friday who I knew as her son is one of my sons best friends, so there wasn't going to be the awkward 1st meeting thing as I knew she was going to sign (and did) for both her boys. I wasn't at all nervous about it until 10 minutes before she was due to arrive and I suddenly went into panic/feeling sick with nerves mode!!!
Well done on the contract, thats great!!:clapping: :clapping: :clapping:
Yes I still get nervous even after 12 years!! I had 2 interviews last week and still managed to get verbal dihorea!! They both want my services so could'nt have been a complete loony!! Best thing to do is be yourself.:joker:
