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!

Yea, I too have a permenant (well not short term) part timer starting after Easter and a short term part timer next week.

so:

I've been registered since february and still no mindees. I feel so lazy.

If anyone is looking for a minder in paignton....

I got the call today! the call. The very first one!!!!!

whooo!! the very first call for me was so scary, i didnt know what to do or say! hope you have a good interview and the parents are happy.
good luck

good look 2 just be your self

Thankyou. She's going to call back today. I really need this one, it's full time!

Are there any child minders / babysitters in Lee Green (SE12 or SE13) who want to look after a 3yr old girl for a few hours every Wednesday morning and drop her off at nursery at 1pm?
Looking to pay about £6-7 per hour.
Thanks.

so I have a space, Have 1 mindee wed & Friday and 2 on a thurs. if you want to contact me you can email me at [email protected] or call me on 07940973749

Is there not a way of setting up a thread purely for searching for a childminder? or has this already been done?
I joined childcare.co.uk site to look for parents and they charge a fee for sending a message to the parents!! so unfair! how will we ever be able to fill our spaces!

hello,I've been advertising for a month now and haven't received a single call. pretty depressing. are there no working mothers left? is the recession really that bad? i start to worry a lot.
anyone in need in greenwich? I am ready to help!

Don't worry yet littledaisys. I had a couple of months like that befor e I got my first call. I'm now advertising again and have just started getting calls after a month, though nothing viable yet.

Yeh! Ofsted's accepted DH as my assistant so I can mind more children, that makes it easier to take on someone part-time which I didn't want to do before.
It also means I have MORE VACANCIES

Hi everyone, I will be a registered childminder from mid to late June. I am a primary school teacher (early years specialist) and was rated 'excellent' by Ofsted before leaving the profession to become a mum. Please let me know if you need me in or around Billericay, Essex.
Thank you
