My lo is 7 months, I had a childminder booked since I was pregnant and she's just let me down. This is the third time I've hunted ... There is literally 0 places in my area or even in the neighboring city. I have only found one childminder available but when I went for a visit the house was such a mess I just really don't feel great leaving my 10 month old there. I got a new teaching job whilst on mat leave ... It's a great school but it's full time and not flexible at all. I already felt bad about leaving her so much and now I don't even have a place I'm happy for her to go to.
I'm just at a total loss of what to do. Just seems an insane position to be in.
