I have my very first interview with a family tomorrow
I just finished my weekly toy/house scrubbing. So now I have time to freak out and get super nervous
What are some things you guys ask to get to know the family and baby (6months old)?
A Few things I've thought of: (phrased politely)
* Parenting style
* Sleep habits/nap schedule
* First time in care? if no, how did baby respond to caregivers other then parents
* Eating schedule/on demand/ baby food yet?
* What physical milestones has baby reached?
Then the ones about wanting to apply for subsidy, food program, how many hours of care/days needed, tell me about yourself...
Anthing important I'm missing?

Ask how often the baby is held and if he's allowed to cry a little before his needs are met. Word it differently though. And ask if he's high needs. Google dr sears high needs and ask if he has the traits lusted in a round about way so the parents don't think you are asking if he's a "bad" baby.
If I could redo my interview with the screamer that's what I would of done. It would of saved me a ton of stress and anguish.
