    perhaps the child has additional needs and the parent needs someone who can commit to a specific routine because it could effect the wellbeing of the child?

    maybe she feels (like alot of parents with children with additional needs) that if she states her child has additional needs that would scare alot of minders off. Its been known to happen. She may well be a first time mum with issues of letting go control - but I like to be open minded

    Maybe English is an additional/second language??

    It sounds very 'literal translation' to me?!

    No no .... this definitely sounds like a child with additional needs. She'll probably be better off with a nanny who doesn't bring her own child to work.

    Sounds like she has previously had a childcarer who kept a dirty house, maybe forgot to bother with nappies, and forget to feed the child and ensure he drank during the day. Maybe she tried to pull him out of her care but found she had to pay the full four weeks notice cos minder felt she'd done nothing wrong, so mum is just getting it out there in case she finds her child dirty, hungry and thirsty again so she can pull him immediately for breach of contract?

    She wouldn't want to come to me, my house is a state no matter what I do, and I feed kids when they are hungry and not at 'right' time or even 'on time'. And I don't give fluids every 30 minutes, I provide free access like most people do. (and I just sent my little man home in an unchanged nappy cos I didn't notice that pick up time had arrived). Hope she finds someone.

    Actually, my previous neighbour and good friend would have been the perfect minder for her, and I think she would be the perfect parent for my friend. Shame she gave up her registration and moved to saudi.

    It wouldn't scare me off. I'd try to be non-judgemental and would contact her to find out WHY she needed strict hygiene and regular feeds.

    If it was because of a specific reason, such as for health reasons, and I could offer what she needed, then I would be happy to do it.

    If there was no specific reason, other than her being very fussy, then I'd pass on it.
