Just wondered if anyone had been in the position i am in now and could offer advice x
I currently mind children ranging from 1 - 8 years all at different times throughout the week x well 1 of the mums have just had a baby and another is due in nov, both want me to care for the babies which i should be able to do so long as i get a variation due to them both being siblings of older children i already care for x
This is all good and i should be happy that come next year i will be totally full but i do feel that it will push me to the limit as far as me coping - i've no problem with the little ones but some of my after schoolers can be a handful :eek:
Ideally i would 'lose' at least one or maybe 2 of the after schoolers to help keep my sanity and also enable me to give them all the attention that they deserve x I obviously want to take on the babies as they will stay with me longer and also earn me more money x
How do other people cope when children keep coming even when they start school but you also need to take on babies to fill the spaces in the day x
I know the babies will definately be coming as both their siblings have been coming since they were babies and both the parents have very secure jobs x
