Were you a CM, why did you give up?

With the numbers of CM's falling, it would be interesting to see if it is all because of the paper work.

So if you have given up since Ofsted took over or are going to in the near future, would you mind signing in.

Shoshe : going July 2009, Registered since 1980. Paperwork became to much, fed up of home having to look like a nursery. Ofsted Inspectors having different standards.

Not giving up yet. Have 2 pre school dd's of my own. The Care Commission are driving CM's out up here too. I can see me giving up when they are both older tho

The paperwork and training etc that i have to do on top of my "working hours" is shitty.
