I had a sort-of neighbour (I can see into her backyard - she is 3 houses down) contact me about childcare today for her 2 children.
I have read many horror stories on here about dealing with neighbours but am hoping to hear from providers that have navigated these relationships successfully.
I do not know this woman presently. I have never spoken to her. She is out with her children for much of the same time that I am out with my group (but are yards are not adjoining at all and while I can 'see' them, I can't really if that makes sense. A garage is in the way as are many bushes.) So I don't really know anything about her other than her kids play outside a lot which is perfect for my group.
She has 3 children. One of which wouldn't be coming as he is school aged. So just the younger two.
Thoughts? Advice?
I am leery of doing a sibling set again (had to terminate one a few months ago and it was hard to fill two spots) but the children would be a tad bit older upon enrollment than I am used to starting them at so would like that aspect.
