I was wondering if I could get some advice. Here is my dilemma:
I am pretty sure that I am going to be done doing daycare at the end of this school year. As much as I love these kids, my own is in school all day and I am ready to work outside the home.
I have a family that just called me about care and I could really use the money. The problem is, do I take someone now knowing/hoping/assuming that I will be done in June? I don't want to put them in a bind, thinking they have long term care and they then don't if I do close.
I don't really want to tell them that I may be closing because I don't want that to get back to my current families. I don't live in a huge town and everyone seems to know each other through someone else! Plus, if it is not financially feasible I won't be able to quit. I can't predict how the next months will go.
Or... could I just tell them I can only guarantee care for the school year. But then what reason would I give? I have families that are returning for the summer. That is kind of backwards, as it would usually be kind of the opposite.
Any advice? What would you do?
