Since Jayden was born i have been advertising like mad for spaces available in september and i have heard nothing!

On saturday i had a call for a 6 year old boy before and after school mon - fri and the mother is coming tonight at 6 to see me.

On monday i had a call asking about a space for a 18 month old girl and the girl said she will call me back to arrange a time to come to see me when she has arranged things properly with work.

And just now i have had a call about 9 year old twin boys before and after school tues and thurs and then odd days when she needs them and she is coming round tomorrow morning to sign contracts.

Admittedly the before and after schoolers and because my brother in law split from his wife and she moved to wales and so gave my number to her parents but i'm so pleased :D

I think i'm going to have to buy some new contracts soon too!

For the twins do i need 2 seperate contracts? I'm guessing i do but just thought i'd check

Yes, 1 contract per child... they could easily have varying allergies etc.

Just had the 2 contracts signed for the twins. The twins are lovely one of em was chatting away bless him, the other one gets bored easily apparently and wasnt as chatty but i'm sure once hes settled and gets to know me better he'll be fine.

And just as the parent and boys had left i get a phone call from the woman with the 18 month old girl and shes coming round at 2 today to see me :clapping: :clapping:
If this woman signs contracts then i'm going to need a double buggy so be expecting a post later asking for advice haha. Also if she signs contracts then i'm going to have to buy more coz its my last one!!! yippee!!!

I feel like i've been waiting forever to start work. My liability insurance runs out end of october and i've only just starting working really lol.

well she has been and she signed too :clapping: :clapping: She hasnt paid the deposit yet though but said she is able to pay it next friday which i said was fine. So i've not arranged a shopping trip for next saturday with my sister to go and buy loads of stuff for a 18 month old girl and a double buggy :D

The little girl is adorable too she has a very cheeky grin on her. The mother seems fine too shes never used a childminder before though so was a little shocked by all the paperwork bless her shes quite young too.

I'm all excited now thats four contracts signed in 2 days :D
