I'm after a CM to start at 6.15am. It's not going to happen is it?! Is it even worth looking or should I quit my job wrack my brains for other options? Smile

Do ring though, it's harder to sya no to someone who sounds nice on the phone.....

Just ask when you contact them-I had my first mindee come at 5.50 this morning!

I used to start at 5.50.
Mum had to get 2 buses to work and started at 7am.
She was very grateful as every other person she asked said No and also said she would never fine anyone to do it.
All you can do is ring a few and ask around x x

It's twice a week, every week. I've sent out a few emails and had one reply, and the lady said she doesn't start that early and she doesn't know anyone else who does either. It's good to know that you do though Smile thanks.

How often do you need that start time? Is it shift work or every day?
I do 6.30 starts for a nurse but it is usually only once or twice a week. Every 3/4 weeks.

I know another CM in my area who starts at 6am some weeks.

Email or call a few in your area to see.
