Childminders with no mindees - lets all be lonely together!

183 replies

mumnosbest · 16/10/2008 21:10

I'm a minder with no mindees. I keep reading threads by others in the same boat and thought why don't we all kill our spare time and have a moan together. You never know we might even get the odd parent looking and be 'childless' no more!

Hi all!
Great to see this thread's still going! I've not been on for ages as I've finally started childminding . Hope 2009 brings a bit more luck for those of you who are still looking for CMs or children.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Tabbykat · 04/12/2008 09:13

Dear Beena,

I am based in Tunbridge Wells (TN2) and might be able to assist. I am in the final stages of registering - I have completed my training, my Paediatric First Aid and both myself and husband have been CRB checked. We are just waiting for one final piece of paperwork from Ofsted, which they hope to send out over the next week or so. Providing that all goes ahead, then I would have vacancies early next year. If you would like to get in touch for more information, then please feel free to email me on flettkatrina at hotmail dot com

Beena · 03/12/2008 21:34
