I am hoping to get a weekend/Saturday job for some me time and to start to establish a bit of a job/career for myself ready for when my DCs are all at school. I'd like to apply for a job in a local estate agent's which is every Saturday.
The only thing is, my DH works some Saturdays; maybe one in 5 or 6. He has to work those Saturdays and doesn't have any say in whether or not he can work them as they are part of his job and absolutely essential to the business of his employer. We don't really have any family members that would be willing to do the childcare on those Saturdays; my parents wouldn't want to do it and although DH's father probably would it would mean a 1 hour round trip for me on the days they were there which would be quite unrealistic if I was starting at 8 or 8.30.
So I was wondering what other possible childcare solutions there might be for weekend childcare? Do some childminders offer weekend care on an adhoc basis? Or would I be better off looking for a babysitter that could come and look after the DCs here?
Many thanks in advance for any advice
