    Default How do I bridge the gap between no mindee's and lots of mindees

    I am now official certificate here all copied for my portfolio and spare copies to send off if needed, I need to now sign off JSA, How do you bridge the gap? I am slightly at the fact of no money coming in for a few weeks. I am not eligible for tax credits as I am with my partner and he earns too much in the governments eyes.

    Any suggestions have been saving to have a back up and will squirrel away some of my flexible support fund to tide me over. I have one Mindee starting he is only 1 day increasing til 5

    Confused of Gloucestershire

    do you have your level 3 hon? maybe offer to do some creche work at a local children's centre? or sign up with a childcare agency and do some temping in a nursery? Not ideal I know if you have your own little one. Sorry don't know what else to suggest?

    Maybe some babysitting?
    if you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got

    I have my level 3 have offered my services as a nanny, but our local nanny agency are a bit funny about CRB's but my argument is and is still Ofsted have not seen it as a barrier or they would not have approved my registration. I think it will pick up soon I just need to be more savvy about selling myself.
