After 3 years of minding I have decided to get another job but still do minding after school, just wanted to hear what people thought or if anyone else does this.
After careful consideration and input from my dh and 2 ds's I have decided that I want another job. After lots of applications forms sent out and only 1 interview, I have managed to get a job 4 nights a week which will suit us fine, but I still want to look after the kids I have after school, which will be fine as its only term time only.
I am feeling a bit sad/upset over the lo's I look after during the day and am dreading giving my letter of notice to them in a couple of weeks. I know it is the right thing for me and my family but I keep questioning if what I am doing is right, i guess i am just worried about letting people down but of course I will help them find someone else. I just do no think it is fair to carry on with this if my heart is not in it like it used to be.
Not after any advice really just wanted to hear from fellow minders what they thought and if anyone does actually just look after after schoolers and how it works for them.
