Back when I first started looking into becoming a childminder, my sil aske dif I would have my neice in August when she starts school, so before and after school, although until Oct she finishes at 12 so slightly longer. I said yes without really thinking it through. So, first of all I'm now wondering whether this is a good idea or not? Mixing family and business? And now to complicate matters sil is now pregnant and due end of Oct so will not be needing me after that anyway, am pretty sure she'll take a year off.
So, my thoughts are just do it, it's only going to be 6-8 weeks but also she's going to be using one of my spaces so if I get approached by someone else (already filled 1/3 school places) wanting that space, I'd be silly to turn it down in favour of my neice wouldn't I?
So wwyd? Do I just wait until nearer the time and see what enquiries I get and broach it with sil if I do get another enquiry? Or do I say to her now?
