Childminders - how do you do it?????

[jimjamshaslefttheyurt]

Deal with the parents I mean?

Thread after thread on here tonight is full of utter nutters. Is this what you have to put up with in RL? My eyes have been opened if so.

Hats off to you all.

Jimjams, we do it because 99% of our Parents are absolute Gems, and although the others do get us down from time to time, the others more than make up for it.

Thank You.

i agree jimjam. I'm not a cm, and don't use one atm(ds starting with one in Jan), but I think all people working in the childcare industry have it very hard.

We deal with the odd dodgey parent, because we love the children and the joy of the kiddies far outweighs their PITA parents!

Childminders have my absolute support and thanks.

There are some complete loons out there tonight.

Agree with shoshe

I keep minding as I am attached to my mindees. I love watching them growing up, I will always work with children (but maybe not for much longer as a cm).
