My notice was handed in (as i work at a school) last week... so i will cease to be employed from September.
I have two girls of my own aged 3yr and 11 months. So I have just one vacancy for an under 5. Im ideally looking at only taking one child - two at a maximum, and possibly even just part time.
Ive been advertising like mad for the last few weeks, and have had nothing at all. Then out of the blue a lady contacted me through childcare.co.uk. She is wanting care for her 4 mth old son - one or two days a week but from 7am to 7pm!!!!
I said that wouldnt be a problem (as then i would only need to work the two days) and she was very very keen to secure me (as she didnt think she would get a childminder to cover these hours), but then she dropped the bombshell that it isnt until January.
I dont know what to write back.... I can not afford to hold this place open until then... should I just say that if I have a space open in december I will contact her??
Thanks Donna
