My son's speech therapist referred a dcm to me that wants to interview tomorrow. Dcm has 2 kids - a 1 yo dcg and 2.5 yo dcg. 2.5 yo dcg is seeing the same speech therapist; dcm is concerned about her lack of potty training skills (I'm not...my ds also isn't there yet and I'm waiting on better communication with him). 1 yo dcg is a biter. Both girls are at a center, and dcm blames the center, as she thinks it is "too chaotic" and also 1 yo dcg apparently was bitten multiple times before she started biting. Dcm is upset because dcg is now getting sent home "almost daily" for biting. She thinks the biting could be resolved in a smaller daycare setting, as she says at home, when dcg bites she firmly tells dcg "NO" and moves her.
I have 4 dcks in my care right now, one of them being my 9 week old dd, but for the most part my group is pretty chill right now. Would it be worth giving dcm a 2 week trial period (assuming we decide we're a good fit for each other tomorrow)? Or should I run away screaming between the biting and adding another child with delayed speech to my group? I like my sanity...so I want to weigh my options before I'm potentially put on the spot tomorrow...
