Hello, 1st time using this forum
I wondered if anyone could help - I am a childminder who does school drop offs and picks ups only. In the past I have had a very lively boy who was quite aggressive towards my own child and rude to me. Thankfully the contract came to an end and I no longer look after him. However, I have got a new boy starting in 2 weeks and cannot shake that previous anxiety. At the settling in session, its very difficult to see what a child is really like - he did jump on the sofa while his mum was here but otherwise seemed ok - I just dont want my own child to feel unsafe in their own home. The contract stipulates that I / parent can cancel contract immediately in the 1st 4 weeks but I dont want to get to that point - as I want to maintain good professional reputation at school.
Sorry, this is a little garbled and probably doesnt make much sense. But could anyone offer any words of advice / encouragement
thanks
