Just got back after a week away yah!!!!!!!!!! to an email enquiry about a 22mth LO from 6.30 til 4, monday to friday. Now the money would be great, but what do I charge especially as they want me to pick up!!????
Have got a variation going through at the moment for a fellow childminder to come and work from my house, so its going to be a very busy one
Do I do it, what are your thoughts:)

I'd do it! I'm always up early but shattered by 5 so perfect hours for me. Not for everyone though, how good are you in the morning? :)

Left to my own devices I am not a morning person.

Though I did have a job with shifts and loved the 6am starts :).

If it meant finishing early, then I would go for it, but not if I had lates as well as earlies ....

Much better in the morning, once I've had a coffee, however I will have others here until 6, thats when I start to tire, so a long day:panic: :panic:

I think if you have a 6pm finish with other mindees then unless you are desperate for the business I would say no. I have a 7am start with one of my schoolies and then have a 3.5y who is sometimes here til 6.30pm and it is a killer working that long in a day.

I would take them if they were dropped off to me. It would be impossible to pick up at that time as I have my own kids here and wouldn't want to drag them out at that time. I have a lo who starts at 6.30am and I find it ok, I used to hate mornings but now I love them.

I dont think I would do a pick up at that time very early and as others have said a long day esp if you have other mindees. I do 7.30 - 6.30 and thats hard going

If that was the time I'd finish I'd def do it although if others were finishing at half5 or 6 I'd never cope with such a long day x
