Only sitting down last night and sorting out all my contracts did i realise that all 7 of my mindees are only children???

Is it just me who thinks this is quite a feat??

Two mums are preggers so its about to change but i must seem to attract them or have the right environment for them?? :D

in my 5 years minding nearly all my children minded were siblings. Maybe we do attract a 'type' of child or parent. Hadn't thought about it before!

My first 18 months of childminding I had children who were all from single parent families.

Now I have 3 children (not related) whose parents are African or of African descent.

My mindees tend to be siblings, and strangely enough at the mo same sex siblings.

All mine at the moment are single parents and have "large families" :) However I'm about to start my first married couple with only 1 sibling.

I had a stupid 5 secs and read only children (singular) as "only children" (poor things), I was thinking if not children who else do you mind!

Most of my mindees are girls, at one point I only had girls. But are a mix of being an only child, 2 children, 3 children and 4 children.

Up until the week before last out of 12 mindees on our books all were boys except one girl who only comes 8 hours. Since last week we have gained 4 more girls!
