I have signed up 4 new mindees this week.

After having spent most of the summer turning people away I've at last got some people that can slot in with my fairly fully week!

I've got 2 after schoolers one day a week.
I've got 1 nearly 3 yr old one afternoon a week.
I've got a different nearly 3 yr old 2 afternoons a week.

All little bits and bobs but they fit in nicely and the pennies soon add up!

I'm getting phone calls every day at the moment, is it normal for parents to leave things to the last minute and wait till the end of the holidays to sort childcare out????

That's great news! :)

I have always found parents looking a couple of months ahead... except for the emergency care I have had.

Last August I got a call from 2 sets of parents wanting me to mind their children,but the thing is the school started 3 days later ,so yes they do wait to the last minute.When I said you are cutting it a bit fine trying to find care this late they said they had forgotten totally about it until the last minute:(

Well done Lucy!

You must be busting at the seems now! Great news though. :) :clapping:

I wish we lived a bit closer, I haven't had any interest at all. I'm on the DISC site now though so maybe somebody will notice me (preferably after tomorrow
when they've put the area code right on the listing though, lol! )

That's great Lucy! You seem to get most of your mornings off as well so you can have time to yourself

That's great Lucy! You seem to get most of your mornings off as well so you can have time to yourself

I wish I have 3 mindees who turn up at 6.30am another at 7.45am and another at 8.30am, everyday!

The first 4 will go off to school but I'll still have a 2 yr old 9 hours a day, 4 days a week!

I will however get Friday mornings to myself, I'll set that aside to work on my OU course!

Oh and another enquiry today for a 10 month old and 3 yr old for 3 days a week, I'm trying to squash them in by using my assistant for the odd hours I'll be over my numbers! (good old mum the assistant!)

Congratulations Lucy - doesn't sound like you'll manage to hang on to your Friday morning off for very long :panic:

I like having lots of different children - I think it makes the job more interesting and no two days are the same
