It's always a bit scary on your 1st day but you'll soon get into the swing of things. Hope you have a lovely 1st day as a childminder :)

Good luck with your first day - it will probably go in a flash. My only tip - try not to cram too much in to it, let the children lead the fun!

Just wanted to wish you good luck.

I'm sure you'll be fine though.

Like the others have said, just go with the flow and let the children choose what they want to do while you are getting to know them.

It was abit stressful this morning as 4 yr old wanted to get into everything, but I suppose she is just finding her feet.
Her 9 month old brother is having his nap now after his milk feed and my 2 and C are playing lovely with dolls whilst Im helping dressing them :)
I feel more relaxed now.

After dinner I'll take them for a walk to the park for some fresh air.

My first day is finally over. Found it quite hard to be honest. Baby was fine, no problems, it was his 4 year old sister (C) I found the hardest I just hope she calms down with time.

Just realised how good my two lovely children are ;)

Hope tomorow is a better day, thats if C wants to come back.
