Hello everyone,
I'm an obsessive reader of this forum but this is my first time posting!
I along with my mother work a home daycare in MA. We were looking for new clients over the summer and offered two families of infants part time spots. the two families would have basically shared one full time spot.
We thought this would be a good idea.
One infant has started and the other is due to start next month.
Unfortunately the first infant is not a good fit. She is 9 months old and accustomed to being held all day. In care she cries unless I am holding her. She refuses milk and sometimes even food. Also her mother is very nervous about her being in care. The child is cared for by grandma 3 days and with us for 2 days because the friend who was watching her previously stopped for whatever reason.
We've decided that this is not a good fit and will term this family.
As luck would have it we interviewed the perfect family with an infant that is looking for full time care.
We are accepting this family and now we need to write a letter to the second part time family to let them know we can no longer care for their daughter.
I'm sorry for their inconvenience however full time is preferred. We did not accept any deposit or even a contract from the part time family yet.
I was looking for help on how to word a letter to revoke the offer.
Thanks for reading! And thanks to everyone for this forum. This is an amazing resource for women (and the men) in this business, I believe that the socialization that we receive as women makes it easier for people to take advantage of us in a business situation. The experiences and encouragement on this forum is inspiring.
