My friend has been in childcare for 21 years (she was a nanny for 17 of those and is very well qualified) and is currently looking for a child to mind. She has 3 of her own (1 at school, 1 at pre-school and 1 at home). She only minds one child at a time to make sure they get proper attention. Pet free and smoke free home.
If anyone would like to know more, then feel free to post here or CAT me and I can pass on her details to you.
