[kelli22]

hi im 22 i have a 5 yr old daughter and am hoping to have another child some time nxt yr, however i would like to be able to stay at home with the children and think this is something i could do well, im currently working full time (almost 3mths so far)before that i was working part time. so any advice on what its actually like to be a childminder so i can really decide if its the best thing for me to do?
im already aware of the training etc and already im excited but on the other hand i have some concerns and would like to find out more form someone who knows what theyre talking about.

Hi, am also a childminder but have been working in a nursery for a few weeks due to lack of childminding work in my area of Tameside, Greater Manchester. There seems to be alot of private nurseries, creches and before and after school clubs sprouting up these days.

I will be looking after a 3 yr old for 3 days a week and my own 4 year old is starting school so I'm advertising for 2 x 5-11 yr olds and a baby.
