hi, i've not posted on here before but often read for bits of advice!
I have just had an enquiry from a parent wanting me to have her 20month old child for 1 month only in september, i dont mind doing that so much but the reason is because she has got him a place at a nursery for october and has now found she needs to start her job earlier so needs care for the 1 month b4 he goes to a day nursery. i just wondered firstly how many of you would take on for 1 month only (knowing that you may have to turn work down just because of it) and secondly how would this effect the child? as it generally takes a month to get to know a child and for them to get to know me, so just as he may feel settled he'd then have to get used to a nursery!
then on the other hand i have a vacancy and i need the money and i may not get any more calls! what would you do?
by the way she is coming to see me at 2.30 today!!
any advice appreciated
thanks
