CM CLUB:Ive just had an enquiry!!!!! 8-)

[StrawberrySnowflakes]

from someone looking on cis website, he has a 1year old daughter and needs care one day a week, possible two half days(dont think many people would go for this?, but i will!), im emailing him my t&c and welsome pack and he's rining me Sunday to arrange when he can come round and has asked me how soon she can start and if i can have paperwork ready!!!!

Well done I had someone round on Wed, someone coming today and another coming on Tues next week. Had a call about half hour ago too but said I'd call them back after meeting today.

So, there was me worrying like MAD but fingers crossed something comes out of these visits!

One is for Mon & Tues, another for Mon-Thurs, another for Wed & Thurs and a Mon-Fri after nursery run. So, a few of them could work out well, just need to make them want ME!!!!

Good luck SS, let us know how you get on. We're both in the same boat at the moment so could support each other?!

Great! Well done to you both!

Good luck

yes well done and good luck
let us know both how they go

cool Lonneytune, yeah we'll support each other eh?..youll be busy but youll be earning mroe again.
jsut called our toy libary as i hire my double buggy from them to ask to maybe renew hire term)(fingers crossed) and whilst chatting she said they also have travel cots to hire(all are like new, if anything dirty/broken they replace immediatly)..and...the girl who i deal with is 21 weeks pg and she said although very very early days...she would like me to have her baby as she has to go more or less straight back to work and was saying last night to her dh that she didnt want to put baby in nursery!..she only lives two roads away from me..so although many moons away, she is also pencilling me in..keep em coming

Looneytune even

AND ANOTHER ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

2 1/2 yr old, 3 afternoons per week or over weekend which ever i can do..so if i can get this little girl(they also asked me about her, but i said hed rang direct)one day or the two half days, then work the other LO round that or round eachother

things are looking up for you both i'm so happy for you

i was full but just give screaming baby her notice mum was crying but the baby just wont stettle and i have tried for 5 weeks. so no baby on monday it feels a relef

aw, you have tried so hard with that baby though and mum wasnt very sympathetic from what i remember (when she left her with you when you were meant to be at funeral)..have you got someone else lined up?

no not yet mum only came at 3.30pm tonight and we had a chat and called it a day

my boys on a inset day on monday and i had baby and a little girl on monday so just phoned up little girl and swoped her day from mpnday to tuesday, and phoned dh's work and booked monday off for him as a surprise so on monday we will have a family day

aw, thats nice..im only working(albeit 6am till altes) 2 days next week so am going to have a think what dd and i can do together

oh yes its your half term this week coming ours has just finished we have been very lucky with the weather

so the little baby..shes a year old(dad sounded unsure??)..i would normally charge normal rate for (£3 per hour), the toddler will be part time so i would normally charge £4 per hour, plus food if he needs dinner before he leaves, which i assume he will(6.30pm)
this means(dare i say it dont want to speak too soon!!!??) £60 a week..£30 a week less than when i had two full timers but its not fuill time work and £60 per week is £240 a month to pay off this flipping holiday????oooooooooooooooo...ive got everything crossed

yeah and its pouring down now..looks more like november, its been so much nicer the last week..well, ill have to have car of dp

Hi glad you are all getting sorted, just need to get people breeding round here its really quiet at mo

is that all you get strawberry?

half term this week i get £650
normally get £500 a week

How do you get that much?? I only get £400 a month for my full time baby. I have 2 spaces availble though but couldn't imagine swinging that per week - that would be fab!!

Well done StrawberrySnowflakes

2nd meeting finished and she told me she was VERY positive and just wanted to speak to partner etc. She knew about the phone call today and told me to tell them she's pretty confident as met other childminders and knew straight away it was a no So, fingers crossed. Little girl was LOVELY. She said she'll call before Tuesday so that if she signs up, I don't waste my time with the meeting about the nursery run (was concerned about not much money and not being able to fill the morning).

SO I feel and so do you

Fingers crossed for you, keep us posted and I'll let you know if she signs up!

Funny business this. One minute panicking like mad and then 5 enquiries within days! Wish is was always that simple! This time of year always seems to be more popular round here! (thank god!)

Great news all round then... sounds like things are beginning to pick up for you two. With luck your good luck will rub off onto other mumsnetter childminders looking to fill vacancies.

thanks everyone
DMO, i get between £480-£600 per month off mindee one(full timer) at present, the £60 would be off the baby one day a week, then the toddler 3 afternoons a week, so as long as i get the two new tots on ill get at least £720 in a four week month/ £900 in a five!..am very about that..but please keep your fingers crossed for me, i havent got them here yet

and glad all went well Looneytune, hopefully theyll be back to you tuesday and get it all signed up

crace i have 17 children per week

I am definitely living in the wrong area! I guess this is what I get for being rural - hopefully things change but it's not looking good sadly.

Great to SS and Looneytune that things are on the up and up

OMG!, ive just had another enquiry!..for a little boy who my cm friend looks after at minute(she is stopping cm'ing in july)..but she wont want him looking after until july when friend stops..think friend has told her about retainers?, but 5 months at 1/2 rate whilst paying for another cm???????..and he will only be about 18 months, although i havent heard from the other enquiries yet, but theyre all in my under 5's ratios!

funny how they all come at once
same for me too = lets hope something comes of them for u-good luck

havent heard back from first two yet tho??..dad to one yr old was gunna ring me tonight
