Media Request - Childminders with pets

[dawnfp]

I'm writing a piece for Child Care magazine and looking for a childminder who has pets. I would need to do a brief telephone interview with you to ask about your experiences - why pets are important for you and your children, what are the disadvantages perhaps?..... I would then include a short profile about you at the end of my piece, including a weblink if you have one.

If you are interested please contact me here, or at dfpapc@aol.com.

Many thanks.
