I have been interviewing to fill openings in my daycare. I have had about 2 a week for the past month. But not getting much when it comes to sign ups.
I had one mom sign but cancel before they started. The rest say they will let me know and I never hear back from them. I have done a couple of follow up messages with the ones I really wanted to hear back from.
This last family I interviewed with has got me questioning somethings. When they emailed to begin with they wanted rates, they said they needed care 4 days a week. I gave them my rate for a full week, their responds was that I was higher than what they are paying. I set my rate at the average for the area. I am not the highest by far.
When they came for the interview, they changed the number of days they needed care, from 4 a week to 3 one week and 1 the next week. They mention that Gma takes the kids one day a week and dad has a day off. (UMMM what happen to the other 2 days?) I am not sure what to say about this, did they forget that they told me a different schedule?
I realize that they are trying to save money, maintain a home and lake home can be costly.
I need some help with interviews, I think that I over talk out of nervousness. I try to get them to sit down, but they are not always willing. Sometimes, They act as if they are the only ones with questions. I always give them a quick tour then try to talk with them. Letting the kids play while we talk.
How do you set up for interviews?
