    Hi
    I had another enquiry on Friday. It’s a child age 3 just on Thursdays and

    Fridays I have got a place. But the problem is school holidays again I have

    space, I have a daughter who is 8. I have 2 children mon, tue and wed in

    holidays and if I take this child on I will be working all week, I also have a

    child every other Saturday so I won’t have much time for my daughter. I

    just can’t make up my mind, I know the money would be nice but I do have a

    life as well. The mum says she can’t find another CM in area who serves our

    school. i just need some advice

    Thanks in advance Ellen x

    No as she has just started her own bussiness, her mum was looking after him

    but its got too much for her and her sister was her back up but know can't

    do it so this mum is stuck.

    i think its worth asking if she can change one day for the hols to allow you to have a day with your daughter or write down specific dates that you just so happen to have booked already and cant work.
    Busy losing the will to live mwuahahahaha!

    I would take the contract for thurs/fri term time and change it to mon/tue holidays, then you will have a couple of days free in the hols. Personally Iwork 51 weeks of the year 5 days a week anyway, so wouldnt notice lol
