Hi all
Im new and have been minding for about 2 months now.
My numbers are slowly increasing which is great money wise but im feeling overwhelmed and wondering if i can do this.
I have a 19 month old son and currently mind another little one of a smiliar age and 2 older children before and after school. I have 2 other siblings due to start with me in the next few months.
I feel swammped by the amount of paper work, when i think im on top of it all i spot something else that i need to write up.
Also one of my parents can be really testing. Im young compared to may minders in my area. I dont have a mansion but i do have a lovely home that is clean and tidy and i try to make inviting to the mindees and parents. I feel the parent plays on the fact im young and presumes she knows all there is to know about looking after children...when im sure no one actuallly does :o)
I am well qualifed and have a lot of experiance in the early years. But my confidence is on the decrease and i could do with a boost.
Any advice from all you wonderful minders out there??
Thank you x
