I am now part of the gang...I am a regisetered childminder!!!:happy banana:
Received my certificate this morning Feels really strange. I thought i'd be much happier after all of that time and effort but as i still haven't had any enquiries after advertising for 3 months it seems pointless as i can't even start!!! CIS can't put me on the website for another few weeks!!!
Also as i have moaned about before...money is so tight and i'm under real pressure to start earning money. I went to that interview for the office and turned it down as it was really awful...full of sleazy looking men and the work they wanted me to do was extremely boring!!! I just can't find anything to do until i get some mindees lined up. Can't take a permenant job as then i'd be stringing them along and would have to give a months notice which wouldn't be good if then a parent came along wanting me a couple of weeks later!!! Arghhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! I'm starting to think about leaving the childminding for now and applying for a nanny job.At least i'd be guarenteed some work...NOW!!! I need to be working in the next few weeks...we've been using our savings to get by while all this registering as a childminder has been going on and now they are pretty much gone!!! I don't know what to do really. I hate to be so pessimistic and depressive when i should be happy after that long wait to be registered. I'm just so disappointed...if i have to give it up before i even start after everything i have put into it!!!
