So here is my situation...
My BIL has a 4 month old and wants to bring him to my daycare. Actually, he is demanding to bring him here cause he is very adament about NOT taking him to a complete stranger. Even though I have an open spot I can't take him cause I am at my max for babies. I'm not even sure what the hours would be cause his GF is in between jobs and is heehawing around looking for one cause she wants to stay home. But he is telling her she needs to find one (they just moved into a bigger house, bought a newer car, etc. so they need the second income). And considering that she is a nurse her hours may not be ideal daytime hours. So I basically told them no but if something were to happen (such as another baby leaving) I would let them know.
Yesterday I just got a phone call from a man who's wife is expecting. Around the time that they would need daycare would be the time my oldest baby will turn 2, therefore opening an infant spot. I haven't called him back yet so I don't know exactly what they would be needing (fulltime/parttime) but it is so hard talking to people who are expecting because they have soooo much time to think about whether they want to choose me and I'm left sitting around waiting for that phone call!
So I don't know if I should give my BIL a heads up about possibly filling my spot and offer it to them first? Even though his GF doesn't even have a job yet and when she does we have no idea what hours??? I feel she is putting it off cause she doesn't have someone to watch him, but I don't want to say yes to them (so she'll go find a job) and then it turns out to be a 2nd shift job.
*IF the circumstances were ideal I would like to have my nephew here because I KNOW I'm the best place for him. Plus it would be a lil easier watching an older baby with all my toddlers than a newborn. Just not sure what to tell the perspective parents when I call them back :confused:
