How much would it cost and would anyone do it??

[Twinkie1]

I am planning to go back to work 2 evenings a week - working from 5 till 12.

It would pay really well and I think my brain is slowly turning to jelly being at home all of the time - I think it would be good for DS to socialise more with other children and hopefully would cure his problems with food if he saw other kids eating outside the house.

It would mean me dropping DS with a childminder at about 3 so the childminder could then go and get DD for 3.30 at the school and DH (I wrote DP and then realised he wasnt anymore ) would then collect them at 5.30.

Do you think it is odd to ask a childminder to only have the kids for that short a time and it would only be for 2 evenings a week.

sounds perfectly reasonable. like 'after school care'.

Oooohhh I am confused now - is it a yes and a no so far - and do you know how much it would cost - I am putting down a case for me to go back to work and need hard facts girls!!!

So at childminders from 3 for DS (aged ??) Collect DD (aged ??) from school

For collection at 5:30

With tea or without

At mine they would be fed and it would cost about £15 - but you can probably get cheaper

The problem will be DS (unless C/Mer has a child that finishes early)

Oh right thanks - think I may go and ask DDs old childminder and see if she could hypothetically do it and how much it would cost and if she can't have a word up the school.

Keep helping though as I need as much advice as I can throw at DH!!

That was per evening....btw

im just starting up as a cm and would def do that work..most places where i am charge £3 per hour so £15 for both per night..some may charge less for second sibling or some may charge more for unusual hours..but you should find someone id think..esp like me, whos just starting out.good luck

Doing after school for an under 5 is the only problem

Lots of luck - hope you find the idea C/Mer

where are you twinkie1?

Bump just wanted to see if Evesmama is in my area???
