Part time hours

[jackandjill]

Hello everyone

I have been advertising for 2 weeks now and have only had 2 enquires both part time.:(

1st is 3 days starting february 2009
2nd is 1 maybe 2 days a week

Just wondering if there seems alot of people who only want part time
Really wanted 2 full timers and rest part timers but guess its better than nothing

Thanks Sarah

I have all part timers, one Mon, Wed, Fri, one Tues, Wed, Thu, and one Fri only.
I only started in Feb, so it hasn't taken me too long to build up, I only have 1 space left on Mon, Tue, Thu, but I also have before and after schoolers so the money is OK at the mo.
There was another thread recently, about the demand for f/t care dropping, will try to find it.

Anyone else noticed that childcare requirements seem much more short term nowadays? by yummy mummy
on the next page of threads, hth.

I have only ever had one full-time child, the first one I ever had. Everyone else has been part-time. I was full most of the time but with part-time children:)

Im the opposite i have only just took on my first part timers and they worked out full mon,tue and wed for one and thu , fri the other, all my contracts have been over 35 hours with 3 being for 45 hours, not sure what is harder as i like it when they are fulltime and you get to know the child as the part time one i have by the Wed he has just started to get used to my ways and he has to start again on a monday :rolleyes:

at the moment we have 2 full timers the rest are part time but i like it that way as no 2 days are the same with all the different childlren coming and going
