Hi,
My brothers girlfriend only 17 but theyve been together over a year has wanted to be my assistant ever since leaving school. I've had a lack of places due to having 2 dds under 5 so considered it.
But while its been going through ive had more and more doubts, shes a little dim, it might be a little restraining as she cant be left alone with any mindees due to her age, she doesnt drive and has no intention of and i can only seat so many in my car, i would be responsible for extra ljs etc (and any paperwork i give her to do i would be constantly double checking cos that just me :blush:) and i like my wokload now i dont think i want to be any busier.
Ive warned from day one that this may never happen, ofsted may not increase numbers and there may be no families needing care etc, but ive had an idea following a thread i was reading the other day about cleaners, she has passed her crb and ofsted accepted as an assistant, so i have asked her if she would like to work as a cleaner for now. (obviously this wont pay her a proper wage but shes doing a few hours at college now and again so it wont interfere with that, and it gives me a chance to know if i would want her as an assistant)
She loves cleaning:thumbsup: and likes this idea.
My question to those of you with cleaners is how much would you want done in 3 hours??? I dont want beds changing. I know its all knew to her so i dont expect miracles but do want enough, and also if she finds this ok im hoping to help her find work with others, so she needs to be worth recomending:D
TIA x
