Went well, except, as predicted too few hours. Only 12 per week and just term time. Also he has suspected aspegers which is ok but because he would be the only child i'm going to mind, until bubbba here and settled it's too few hours!
Plus, he dislikes lots of children and can be aggressive, whwich means another child is out anyhow.
Shame really because he was really nice, came rushing into my lounge and shouted 'oh wow, look at all the toys!' And he didn't want to leave. But unfortunately the guilt trip didn't work... mum even asked if I could just mind him till I found someone else but just didn't seem fair to him, her or my DD.
Should have another one coing this week tho, this one sounds more promising, so touch wood and whistle!
