Well the day has almost arrived ... at last. After starting the whole registration process way back in February and signing up my first mindee in June, I finally get to do the job for real.
My full time mindee, M has been for 2 settling in sessions (although mum stopped for 2nd even though she wasn't going too) and starts at 8.30am. G and R arrive at 8am so I'm all excited. I had planned on making a picnic and going down to the stream at the bottom of the hill opposite our house and spending the afternoon playing in the stream and some games but the weather forecast dosen't look good.
Not doing my EYFS this week, just going to spend time getting to know M and the things she likes, plus establishing a routine and will start EYFS next week when DD and older mindees are all settled into school.
As I'm getting paid in advance I'm also looking forward to being paid as the last paycheck I received was in Feb after packing up work.
I'm sure I won't sleep much tonight - still can't believe that I'm going to be getting paid for doing this!! Mind you I had the same thought when I started teaching and in the end I got really disillusioned with that but I'm sure that this won't happen this time.
