Ugh, poor you!

Did you end up hearing from anyone?

PS - where are you getting all your enquiries from? What am I missing here? Or is it Location Location?

StrawberrySnowflakes · 19/02/2007 20:06

well srt of cos im only cm in this area, but also up to now, no one has needed a cm in this area!

Well, just think how useful the practice is I was nervous for my first meeting this time round as it had been over a year since I'd done them. Felt much better when the 2nd lady came last Friday but hated having to break the news (when she phoned to say wanted her dh to meet me) that I no longer had a vacancy due to current mindee's mum (had mindee since 6 months old, now 18 months) saying she does want me for baby afterall.

I've still got 2 vacancies on a Mon & Fri that I really need to fill and they are not easy days to fill

Good luck, I'm sure you'll find someone soon. Keep us posted! xx

Hi- I am a mum moving back from Wales to Hackney area of London and I am looking for some childcare for my little girl who will be 2 in August. We are moving back August time- I am very flexible as I work from home and so I am literally just looking for 16 hours a week. This can be done over 2 or 3 days, whatever hours suit you and whatever days you like. For example, in Cardiff she used to go 2 full days a week but then went 10am-2.30pm on certain days so that the childminder could drop one of her charges off at school and then make some extra money by having one extra (but still keeping within her 3 under 3 limit).....Is anyone interested? If so, can you let me know what your rates are and what hours you would like

How's it going now Strawb?

I just got one today! It's the lady who lives right across from me, and she's bringing her little one by on Monday so she can go to an interview. And if it goes well, and she gets the work he's mine hopefully! Part-time, 2 days a week but I am super excited!

I am a little nervous as on Monday: It's my turn for the nct coffee morning rota (ack!); then this new little one straight after and have the baby I mind full days again this week (woohoo, loving the extra income!) so Monday I will be shattered!

..you know the little one yr old?, well her and mum are coming round in morning..just one day a week, but if this and the babysitting comes off, i will fel much better
get the impression the aprents are separated as mum said that dd's dad has just emailed over the details?

so this little one is going to be one day aweek, i think i need to ask a few questions like, if its tempoary as one days seems odd for a job?, maybe a college course or something?
