Starting up as an Emergency Nanny - need to work out a name, logo, rates etc

[KatyMac]

I'm exploring my options! I think I’m going to be an emergency Nanny

I have pretty good childcare experience, updated DBS, current first aid, (out of date safeguarding - but a high standard of knowledge/practise before that) and good qualifications
I'm writing policies (Payment, CP/safeguarding/meds/Equal ops/risk assessment)
I have to think about advertising, Facebook page or website? - Thinking more about facebook as it's more in your face
I was talking to someone at the council locally who said they have massive problems with staff having 'sick' children or 'sick' childminders on days when they have to come to work………

I reckon I need between a day a week and 3 days a month but I wondered about offering just an hourly rate so enough for a meeting?

My Rates? – Not London, Suffolk! But I can travel for cheap on the train (or my bike if it's local)

An hourly amount plus travel with a minimum of 3 hours?
So I need a name....& a logo?

What do I need to consider/think about?

EMC - Emergency Meeting Cover?

You need to register as self employed with HMRC for self assessment and I would do an actual business plan. Do you need insurance? You'll need to write terms and conditions.

Insurance is covered (prob Morton Michel)
Business plan is in the process

T&C will work with the policies I think and are well on the way - I am bastardising adapting them from my nursery ones

HMRC and me are old friends!!

Gotto go - childcare provision?

I'm aiming it at people who 'have' to go to work for a meeting or core hours or something whose children have been sent home from school/childcare or not gone in becasue they are sick

It's not my main income source just an add on
