Your hours/days

[Demonjill]

Just wondered what everyones typical day was like, when you start, finish and how many hours you do?

I just have a Thursday at the mo with twins
11:30am - 4:30pm so 5 hours

but hoping to get Tuesdays
11:30am - 3:00pm too so 3.5 hours

and from February
another 4 days
6:30am - 10:30am and 3:30pm - 7:30pm so 8 hours day 32 hours week

[PixiePetal]

only 2 days 8am - 6pm with siblings

need more really but it is really quiet at the moment here

[ziggy]

monday, tuesday n thursday 8-5/5.30
weds 8-6
friday 9-1 or 3

not sure how many hours but more than 40 and some weeks can be nearly 50 then my mother wonders why i have no energy to go out in the evenings lol

grateful for the work though in these difficult times

At present I work Monday - Thursday 7.30 till 6.00, but I only have 1 mindee during the day on Mon, Tues and Weds, (and 2/3 before/after schoolies) but 3 on a Thursday (and 3 after schoolies)! I would love to condense my days more and ideally I would love 2 mindees each day (maybe I'm just being picky but one of my 3 on a Thursday is my screamer and I find it very hard work) and get a Monday off too, but even tho the mum who's lo I have on a Monday asked at one time about changing to a Tuesday so far its not happened

[mama2three]

just now 3 11 hour days and 2 10 hour days .
Then from january 7.15 to 6.30 , 5 days a week - not ideal but I have to take what parents need , certainly cant afford to turn down fulltimers just because of the hours. Could wait forever for that 'perfect' enquiry!

[snufflepuff]

Mondays 8-4 with 2 LO's plus another who does 8.30-3.30
Tuesdays 8-4 with one LO
Wednesdays 8am start with one LO, then collect another from nursery, first LO leaves at 4 and the one I collect from nursery leaves at 5.15pm

Plus my own son of course.

Hi, my hours are forever changing! but at the moment I am working

Monday: 11.40am-6.00pm
Tuesday: 11.40am-6.30pm
Wednesday: 8.30am-5.30pm
Thursday: 8.30am-6.00pm
Friday: 11.40am-6.30pm

So at the moment that's around 38 hours a week, in February one of my mums comes off maternity so I will be starting at 8.00am on a Tuesday and Friday again, taking it up to around 45.5 hours a week (argh!, lol)

Nine times out of ten I end up working hours I don't want to work due to existing parents changing days and hours!!! How can you say no to an existing parent?!
