The mum of my two under-5s says that they will be leaving when I have my baby, she's having family help instead. Fair enough, there's a few problems going on too. However, I've had a phonecall for kids, one under 5 and one over. I've left myself advertising as I've always been worried my mindees will just not come one day.
The lady is coming for a visit, and if I think it goes well I may give notice to current children. However, I'm in a bit of turmoil.
It's a lot more hours (from 30 to 46) which I think might be a struggle with a newborn. I usually have days off midweek which I now won't get. Plus it's not any more money (as only one is fulltime, one is at school.)and I could just wait for more school kids anyways.
Also, this means I won't be able to get anyone to fill my second under 5 place before I have the baby... noone will want me april to august.
And we might be moving.. dh is looking for a new job which we'd need to move away for. I'd feel quite guilty taking on children to give notice in a month or two.. plus it'd look better to just have current mindees as long as possible...
Any thoughts?
