Morning everyone Smile..well you know like those buses?...i had 3 enquiries yesterday ..but all for babies Sad..im not up to my limit of 3 under 5, but i feel a 9mo and 2 1yr olds would be incredibly hard, as well as not having the means to transport them (just bought new double buggy)..2 want 3 days a week and another was for 3 children!..one 2 yr old and 2 before and after school siblings!...i feel terrible for turning them down/passing them to other cm's as not so long ago i was despersate, but i can only take so many on physically and with ratios.

just about to take old mindee back on for b4 and after school 2 days, but those days could change weekly, so thats taking a full week space up, however she was my first mindee and the hours are early and late so i dont mind as it = more than normal b4 and after school plus shes more like family..could do with 1 more before/after schooly and id be happy happy 8-)

so hows everyone else doing?, hoping you're all getting lots of enquiries too?.x

Hello Pink Chick

I am sure the right child will come along soon....!
Well one parent still not paid me, I know they have money worries, but I will have money worries if I dont pay my bills!!! Grrrrr

PinkChick - where do people get your details from? I've put my details on a couple of websites but haven't had any enquiries yet (though haven't been advertising very long so should be patient!!).

Booh - I hope they pay you soon. I had a schoolie who's parents often paid late but was quite a small amount so not hugely noticeable for me but still a bit tricky when you're working to a fairly tight budget.

Hi all
I've had 3 families come out to see me & 2 phone enquiries who say they will come and see me, but no one on my books yet... this waiting is sooo hard. And I'm bursting with ideas of things to do with kids and itching to get started, but no one wants me :(
