Currently me & Dh work together as cm, but he has been offered a job.
It either means getting rid of a couple of my current mindees, or take on an assistant.
I have spoke with my uncles gf, and asked her if she would be interested in doing it with me, and she has said yes.
It would be a great USP, as she is from France, only moved over last July, so obviously speaks French (and spanish) fluently too. she is 100% fluent in English though, having previously studied at Oxford for a year!!!
She used to look after kids in France, before she moved over, and is expecting a baby in the summer, but at the same time needs to find a job & earn money!
Anyway...as it stands I could just keep two mindees, which are my full timers, and only just 2, so a good income for a couple of years yet, get a variation for one that's part time & starts school in Sept, and get rid of 2...
Or keep them all, and take on assistant. I have an enquiry for a 4 day a weeker & an afterschooler, for Sept too, (as I have 2 due to go to school in Sept).
But, how do I split the money...? At the moment, what we get paid, either chq, just goes in our joint account, or cash, just goes in DH wallet, (as I hate taking stuff out!!!)
As we would be working out of my house, my expenses would be higher, and all the food would be coming out of my normal weekly shop...
I need to know how I would split it, to know if it would be worthwhile doing it or not...
Any ideas
(I'm sorry that I don't come on as much anymore, and when I do it tends to be asking advice rather than contributing more... :blush: )
