I assume you're not planning on applying then!!

[Alibali]

Hee hee!! Don't think I'll apply:laughing:

[bibby76]

Some people!!!

[Toothfairy]

:eek: :laughing: :D

[Blackhorse]

I wish people would use the word childminder more appropriately!!

[FussyElmo]

:eek: its funny as dont think i would admit to not being able to get my 9 year old out of bed.

And while we were doing their housework perhaps we could cook their evening meal too - bless:)

maybe the child has additional needs that mum can not cope with but atleast she is seeking qualified help even it it may not be quite worded right!

[Mollymop]

Haha! Oh dear

Splitting hairs maybe, but she's not asking for someone registered, but someone with a registration number. I'd say she's not so bothered about having someone qualified, more like wanting someone she can use to claim benefits.

I think it sounds like the parent is disabled. I used to go to a lady when I was a home help because she was in a wheelchair and I helped with baby in the morning when she was having physio. I THINK

Oh who knows what the circs are, could be anything, we can't put a spin on it - most likely being just misunderstanding of what a childminder is.

Have meailed to tell her she would be better to advertise for Nanny/Au Pair/Mother's Help.

When I did my training we were told about cm's being able to work in parent's homes instead of their own. That way, they could get out of all the making the house safe stuff! Can't think of any reason why a cm would want to do that though!

She can't advertise for an au pair/nanny/mothers help as she need the registration number, for what ever reason!

Think she will find it hard to get some one though!

[Blackhorse]

I know cms can choose to work in the parents home, but what I found odd was that they would expect a childminder to do some housework??

I agree! I don't even do my own, why would I want to do someone else's :laughing:

Nanny's can register with Ofsted now, if they want to pay the £103 a year, get insurance etc.

[Heaven Scent]

I had a lady who approached me to do something similar she wanted me to collect her children from 2 different places and then take them home from school and stay there until she go home - I told her that was a job for a nanny/mothers help/aupair and not a childminder.

No probs i'm only about 400 miles away how much should I charge for petrol? and may be £1.50 an hour do you think that's enough:rolleyes: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
