Childminders with no mindees - lets all be lonely together!

[mumnosbest]

I'm a minder with no mindees. I keep reading threads by others in the same boat and thought why don't we all kill our spare time and have a moan together. You never know we might even get the odd parent looking and be 'childless' no more!

Ive had a dizzy few weeks looking for new placements. 2 kids left in 1 week, one went to school after 3 years in my care (miss him so much) and the other went suddenly due to a 'faimly situation' which meant his mum had to move out the area. Thankfully i had good parents who stuck to contract in regards to notice/payment. So looking to now fill 2 vacancies.

Had a young mum come to me with 2 kids, signed up all the papers did the settling in than decided that the process with her work placement organised through the job centre was 'long' her words lol.

So now after tunring down half a dozen calls, back on the search, back on the CIS site with advertising Immediate vacancies.

If anyone needs a minder in Lewisham,Catford, Lee, Hither Green area, give us a shout.

Good luck to all the other minders and mums looking as well

Hi there

I'm looking for a childminder for our 4 month old twins from January/February 2009 if anyone can help. We live in central Tunbridge Wells, Kent.

Beena

Dear Beena,

I am based in Tunbridge Wells (TN2) and might be able to assist. I am in the final stages of registering - I have completed my training, my Paediatric First Aid and both myself and husband have been CRB checked. We are just waiting for one final piece of paperwork from Ofsted, which they hope to send out over the next week or so. Providing that all goes ahead, then I would have vacancies early next year. If you would like to get in touch for more information, then please feel free to email me on flettkatrina at hotmail dot com

Please could all clildminders looking for kids move to plymouth! No one here wants a "part-time" 3 year old. am also self employed and wish I could turn away work!
