I am a new provider. I only have my 15 month old son and a 2 year old dcg at the moment. A friend of a friend just had a baby and I said I'd hold her spot without the normal holding fees as a favor to my friend. We have an interview set up next week and she wants her daughter to start the first week of April.
I got a call this morning from a mother looking for care for her 3 month old and 20 month old to start January 11th. The toddler moves up to preschool in May. I can't accept all 3 kids with my son due to ages.
I really want to accept the siblings because we desperately need the income. My husband has been working crazy amounts of overtime to make ends meet until the daycare picks up. But I don't want to go back on my word for the friend of friend's daughter! What are your thoughts? Do I need to turn away the siblings and accept the single infant to start in April? Or can I say my opening for her is in May?
