Hiya, I am thinking about hiring a childminder for one day per week to look after my two DS's. Not because I have to work but to have a day in the house to clean/organise and have some time to myself! Has anyone done this? I feel like it would help my sanity to have this break and i could bring some order to our extremely chaotic and messy house! I am also a writer/artist and it would give me precious time to work. I have never put my children into childcare before.
