looking for full time monday to friday 8.30am until 6pm

hope this isn't a wind up

**misst104** · 02-02-2009, 01:47 PM

Only way to find out is to do what homefromhome said and get them to arrange a visit. Have you got space for full time 9 month old? ( and patience!!!

)

I think im missing something, why is that odd?

**Hebs** · 02-02-2009, 02:21 PM

Just seems odd that her questions is how much or is that normal

**Polka Dots** · 02-02-2009, 02:22 PM

She probably only asked that question because your website covered everything else she wanted to know.

i think thats actually quite normal! i think some people just don't know what they should be asking, especially for first timers iseeking childcare

**Hebs** · 02-02-2009, 02:29 PM

I hope so would love a baby

**FizzysFriends** · 02-02-2009, 02:30 PM

For some parents its more about money isn't it, saving pennies.

9 months is my favourite age, I wish they could stay that age longer.

**HomefromHome** · 02-02-2009, 02:32 PM

well good luck hope it works out!

We have had some odd ones in this area and as soon as you as for their no so you can phone and arrange a visit they disappear. One was asking for our age, names and addresses of mindees they could contact for references etc.!!!

If it is a real interest they will ring and most are so good luck.

**Hebs** · 02-02-2009, 02:50 PM

I just replied stating my fees and what it covers

Fingers crossed I get a reply

**misst104** · 02-02-2009, 03:23 PM

OOOOhhhh, do let us know Hebs, I'm hoping its all for real.

fingers and toes crossed

**Hebs** · 02-02-2009, 03:49 PM

still no reply,

got all excited there

**Mummits** · 02-02-2009, 03:53 PM

I had an email enquiry and all they asked was my hourly rate - not even whether I had any spaces or any information about their child(ren) or requirements, and that did seem odd to me. I sent a reply saying it depends on the age of your child and what hours you need, and suggested a meeting. Never heard anything further, so I assumed it was just someone snooping.
