to be feeling a bit sick about meeting the childminer

[BoobyMcLeaky]

For the first time?

We she mght not be our childminder, depending how it goes. But I need her to be because she's the only one who has been flexible enough for us. Not that I would get her just for that, I'd rather pay a fortune for childcare then get someone just because she's cheaper.

It's making me feel sick, I don't want to go back to work , and I don't want to leave DD .

Come tell me to grow up

It's a big step for you and your DD so no you're not BU

Good Luck though. Hope she's lovely and everything you are looking for.

if she is the right one then you will know, and it will make you much happier about going back to work - I knew the minute I met my childminder and saw her with my dd that she was right for us.

Good luck and dont worry [happy]

Good luck!

Not unreasonae at all. It's a big decision and you're feeling under pressure because you feel you have limited options. Take your time and listen to your heart. Ask any questions you feel you need to - the CM will understand.

Hope it goes well.

She's probably nervous too. Just remember this is a chance for you both to make sure that you are right for each other and most importantly that your children will be happy.

I'm slightly jealous of my childminder as my 2 DDs are so excited to go there. It really will make going back easier if you know your DD is happy and having fun.

Nervous, lol, when I have a prospective parent come to visit he house is scrubed from top to bottom, The best Mugs come out and are dusted, and my kids are warned to be on their best behaviour!!
It nerve racking, will the parent like me, will her child take to me, that I think is the worse one,
will my house be up to scratch and what about my kids, and oh goodness what about the dog..
it goes on and on

As some one else said take a list of question and dont be afaid to ask them.
My 1st ever mindee's mum, came with a A4 list of questions, They sadly are no longer with me, but we've kept in contact and they come to vist every now and then

If she really is a childminer then I'm not surprised . Best take your hard hat, and one for DD too.

Ah, italics only work on whole words then.
