Hi
Hope this is the right place to post this.
I am wondering whether I am able to do this. I already have a 16 month old boy myself so am only able to look after 2 under 5's and 2 over 5's. I have had an enquiry from a mum for her 2 year old boy for 2/3 days a week for 24 hours a week plus her 3 year old girl before school- not sure if for longer or if im going to be taking and collecting her from school which is 2.1 miles away. They have visited my home already and said they would like to have me look after their children. Mums a shift worker so each week is different and she doesn't know what shes working yet as not started job yet- still waiting for CRB. This is a lovely family and don't want to let them down as they approached me first. Am visiting their home on wednesday to see how the children are in their own environment.
I have also had another enquiry today from a mum for her 2 year old girl and 3month old girl for one day a week from9/10-5.30pm starting from September. They are coming this friday to have a look around.
This is probably a stupid question, but is there anyway of doing having both families? I know is more than my maximum numbers. Am just looking at ways around it. Has anyone had something like this before?
