Would you hire a CM if they had SN experience but own SN child too??

[lisad123wantsherquoteinDM]

Im struggling to keep going in current job and would rather be at home for my girls if possible but cant afford to give up work.

I have considered being a childminder, but while I like all children I always havew worked with SN children for the last 10 years. I have DD1 who has HFA but is at school allday. Would any parent with a child with SN consider me, or is it unlikely because I have my own SN child??

I love my work and the families I work with but dropping off the girls and travelling is very stressful

I would LOVE a CM like you :D DD has physical disabilities and is in the process of being assessed/getting asd diagnosis.
Finding childcare for kids like DD is nigh on impossible. Having other SN child there in my books would only ever be a plus, would prove to me instantly that you do indeed know what you're doing and could look after DD

Funny enough I am condiering doing the same thing once were settled and have same worries but figure my home is a lot more suitable than last one

thanks underbw, good to know. I have a big car and loads of ideas, but np idea if it would work

lisa i think you would have a lot to offer - it's really difficult to explain things about asd to people who have no experience - that would be such a bonus to parents like us with diagnosed children - the fact that you have your own child with special needs would not really be an issue for me personally speaking - all the best with it!
