Does anyone here also work for Sitters?

Yeah I do,alrerady had bookings for December both beginning & nearer Xmas

I do and have started to receive the offers of work for new years eve but i dont think i am going to work though.

Do you have to be a childminder to register with them?

I don't think so (I'm not with them) - they do lots of checks like CRB etc.

I'm sure someone will confirm soon!

You have to work within the educational type job like, teachers, minders, nursery workers, doctors etc not a person with just an office job.

They will not employ you even if you can be crb checked.

Other professions are nurses, midwives etc. They do seem to particularly like childminders/ nannies as they are used to sole charge. You need to be able to produce a minimum of 2 signed references for childcare, as well as 1 other (character) reference. You need to provide copies of childcare qualification certificates, ID proof ie passport/driving license, proof of address ie utility bill in your name (not mobile phone bill). You also need passport size photo for your ID card. You will be intereviewed (thats the bit I used to do!), your references will be checked by phone by the interviewer.
