From September i'm going to be full (EYFS mindees only, don't do schoolies) on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. I'm left with one space on a Tuesday (and i'm not going to work Fridays.)
I had an enquiry via netmums this morning, someone looking for a childminder to have her 1 year old just so he can socialise, so could do any day. I told her I could only do Tuesdays and she's happy with that.
But do I want to do this? I'm going to have my hands full- I have a variation to have 4 children on a Monday so it's a really busy, crazy day. And the mindee starting in September will be doing shifts which means sometimes i'll do 7am- 4pm, some 8.30am-5.30pm and some 2pm- 8.30pm- plus the times my current mindee is here........so a really long day sometimes.
Part of me thinks I should stick with what i'm already contracted for, I don't want to exhaust myself. And part of me thinks if I've already got one mindee on Tuesdays I might aswell have 2!
