Hi lovelies,
I was just wondering if anyone does this. I only have one school mindee, and that's mainly due to the fact I have the younger sibling full time. So I have 2 pre-schoolers including my own 19 month old, and although I have enquiries and some others kind of lined up, I'm thinking in a way I want to keep it as it is for now. It seems quite busy for mindees round here.
I don't get a huge amount extra for doing school holiday cover and there are good holiday activity clubs at the many local private schools, sports centre etc etc. His mum actually was thinking of sending him to one but decided he's a bit young at the mo, which is fair enough. However, I actually find it a nightmare - he's very precocious and forgetting the issues I've had with this family anyway, he's hard to keep happy/stop whining. I don't enjoy school holiday times because I don't enjoy pushing the pre-school stuff onto more of a back-burner, and the 2 pre-schoolers in themselves are very demanding actually!
So does anyone else not provide holiday care, whether they do before/after-school care or not?
