Unsocial hours and childminders...

[solo]

I've never employed a CM before but if I'm forced to return to work at the end of January I will need to.
I've looked at some CM's details online just to get an idea about them really, but there have been none at all that mention unsocial hours. My working hours mean that I would need to drop my Dc's off at 05:45 and not collect until around 8pm. Ds is of school age(10)and could probably walk himself to and from school so not so many hours in CM's care for him, but Dd would be all the time as she would only be 2 years old. I also will be working every other weekend, so for example over 2 weeks, I might work M,T,W, off Th&Fr, work SAT,SUN,MON, off Tues/Weds, work Thurs/Fri, off Sat/Sun...
I wouldn't know what to expect with regard to cost either. Can anyone shed some light on this for me please?
Sorry, I hope that all makes sense.

i work unsocial hours i often work at least 2 days from 8 o'clock to 10.30 albeit one set of children go home at 5.30pm then i have a single mum who sometimes has to work night shifts and i'll have the child til 10.30 so phone the childminders in your area, the worst they can say is no

Good luck x x x

Thanks abba.
