Hi there, I'm just wondering if any of you childminders have problems filling your places.
I live in Tameside, Greater Manchester and there seems to be a shortage of children to mind due to too many childminders already available and new ones being registered more or less all the time which leads to too much supply and not enough demand.
I had a lady last week come after ringing, she said she like me etc and then rings to say she is having another minder not far which turns out to be a childminder I know as she bought the little girl to tots! I'd not had a call for months and I was devastated when she rejected me. I am losing the 19 mth old in january as his mum is having a new baby, I'll be then down to one and one wage of £40pw for myself to buy clothes etc out of.
I am fed up, if I don't get any more work I'll have to try and get a job which means trying to afford a childminder for my own 5 yr old. If anyone lives in Tameside, Greater Manchester and needs a childminder - phone CIS 0161 3425434!
