A lot of ummssss to my questions.

The last one was so obvious, I hung up on her. She sounded older, a web search said she was 70, but she needed care for her 7 yo son. Ok, could have been a grandson. I asked what hours, 6 AM to 6 PM, few people need those hours. I asked for his school, it took her several seconds to name a school on the other side of town, one that was on a main st, but not the one near where she lived. I told her that I didn't provide transportation that far away. "Oh, ok, well that's fine. What are your daily and hourly rates, anyway? What do you provide?" I kept taking the conversation away from rates, she kept taking it back.

Finally, I hung up on her. Had she been up front and honest and said that she was interested to start a daycare and wanted info, I would have provided all the info she wanted.
