. I'm so happy as this is a great family and so respectful. I still feel guilty telling them basically I have to have them pay more $ for the same hours, but I just can't afford the keep a PTer now. Now to tell my friend that interviewed that I don't have the spot available anymore...
A bitter-sweet victory

Who knows, maybe something will open up. Let your friend know that your next opening is hers and that you'll keep her posted if something opens up sooner. I know she's your friend ... business is business. Save the next spot for her.
