Now I know Ive been doing this minding melarky for a while now BUT Im quite nervous! the mum sounds lovely, she got my number from an existing mindees neighbour!

she had already booked to see 2 other childminders which she was seeing yesterday

Good luck - it's nice when they come on a personal recommendation so fingers crossed.

I'm rubbish with texting so won't advise there but not sure why you want to text her anyway?

Not sure what words you would use...

Just to confirm our meeting for xxx, looking forward to meeting you and child's name. Any problems let me know...

Something like that is light and airy isn't it?

Good luck! :D

Fantastic news, its lovely when someone recommends you, make the job worthwhile.:)

I have a new little one starting full time next week he had been booked to go to the local day nursery until his mum spoke to a friend of a friend etc who said speak to me first. Hope everyone else is filling their spaces:)
