Ok, on tuesday, a mum called me, she needed a place for her 20 months old asap. I said great I have got a place for mondays and tuesdays. She said can I come to see you now I'm around the corner ? I said ok but you'll excuse the mess as it is normaly the time I tidy up for the afternoon.
She said no worries.
Then she comes, she was really lovely, she liked what I had to offer etc..Then she said I really need someone for 5 days. I said well I'm sorry but I can only offer 2 days, 3 days max (if I sacrifice my day off) but will be able to offer you 5 days in april/may.
She said great, when can I come to sign the contrat ? I said Saturday 2 oclock is fine by me.
The day after, I have had phone call from my childminders friends and they told me this lady had call them (I have told my friends that a lady was about to sign a contract with me) and that she told them that she really liked me but I cant take him 5 days so she needs to look elsewhere. She even have one app with one of my closest friend right after she is supposed to sign the contract. My friend said she could do the 2 days I cant until I can take him full time which is great.
My question is : do you think this mum is messing me around ? Why would she go to ask somewhere else if she wants to sign the contract ? I mean I have asked her twice if she was sure she wanted to go with me even if I couldnt offer her 5 days from the beginning. She said fine. If I dont get that child I'm going to be in deep financial bad state
