I had a visit today with a soon to start mindee (my first real one, I already know the two other kiddies I will be minding)
They were all very relaxed, the LO seemed to like my DD and they played well together.
We were discussing hours and I have already said I would be flexible. The nature of Dad's job means he doesnt find out his hours until the night before so I wont know until then either. I have told them I will need a minimum of 15 hours a week, is this ok to charge a minimum hours? It made sense to me and they were happy about it. I will be doing more like 25/30 hours a week. This also means that I will be paid for 15 hours when they are on holiday and stuff. Have I done the right thing?
Also on the spot they asked about meals etc, I said I could do lunch no problem, it would be easier in fact to feed them all the same thing. I said it would be £1.50 a day is this reasonable?
They are definitely wanting me to be their childminder and seemed happy with all of the above, I just wanted to make sure you all thought it seemed ok, you are all so knowledgable!!
Thanks
