Hiya,
Firstly am very glad I found this board I have got lots of advice just through reading other peoples posts :) and second, You should also know I'm a highly impatient person!!! :laughing:
I started 10th Jan (as in made myself available to start) after FINALLY completing all the relevant training inspections and paperwork. My first mindee started on 3rd feb, an after schooler 2 hours a day 3 days a week. M's school was shut on 3rd so have had M 2 days this week and its all very new for both of us but because M's my only mindee she needs 100% attention so I am having to colour and play with the cars etc :laughing:
Anyway I have only had one other enquiry/phone call for a baby full time, I sent off a parent pack but that was a over a couple of weeks ago so I think thats a no go.
Anyway I have been reading about people getting 3 enquiries a week and I have had only had 2 in a month! I'm really eager to get started full time I have final got there but not quite because I'm still sitting around doing nothing all day and I'M BORED!
Am I being impatient?! I have a website, advertise online, advertise through window decals on my property, am on chilcarelink and have emailed the local childrens centre my information.
I am going in at £4.50 p/hr which for my area is about average I believe it ranges from £3.50-£5, I am only registered for 4 mindees so need to make it worth my while but I'm starting to fret that I should just go in cheaper.
Support needed please!!! :blush:
