I posted last summer asking how many on here mix business with pleasure. I have often been invited to parties of mindees and their parents, as well as christenings etc etc. I never felt comfortable going as I see childcare as a profession and am a very different person when not working. I always felt people were watching and judging me.
Anyway after a misunderstanding I lost 4 of my 5 mindees just before christmas.
This week a new 10month old started, I also have 12month old mindee. Although i live in a small village I dont know these 2 families, plus they are much younger than me.
Cant believe the difference this has made. We just chat about the children's day and the weather. When i close the door at 5pm that is work over and i can relax.
I've found out the hard way minding for friends just doesnt work
