    Default Am feeling a bit scared now!!!

    My very first mindee is starting tomorrow. I have cleaned the house and garden, got all my paperwork as ready as I want it to be, have had 3 settling in visits, and have planned activities for next couple of weeks. Why do I feel so completely unprepared for tomorrow?

    I think all will agree that we all get anxious when a newbie starts and until routine settles etc - your fear of the unknown is what makes you concientious! Does that make sense - good luck and the day will sail by!!

    Take care
