I'm a grandmother as well as a Mum, and one of my daughters has recently moved abroad. Since the grandchildren still want to come and spend time with us, on their own, in their holidays, someone has to make the inward & outward journey with them - resulting in 1 wasted journey each way.
Since I love travelling, but don't have the funds to do so as much as I'd like, I conceived the notion that other working parents may have the same problem - and might just be willing to pay the fare for a "rented" grandmother to accompany their child(ren) from home to destination (and back again if needed).
I'm rather fond of children, and have recent experience with a range of ages (babes to almost teenage), so feel I could look after them well whilst they were in my care.
Does anyone think there would be a call for this - or am I simply being wistful ?
Do be blunt if you think this is a daft idea : it would save my wasting energy on it ....
Kind Regards
