assistants in northern ireland

[ziggy]

I have been minding for about 18months and due to lack of childcare in our village am often asked to take more children, so was wondering if having an assistant would help especially with after school children.

Just wondered if anyone on here living in northern ireland has an assistant

Hi Ziggy

We don't have many members from NI which is a shame, can't answer your question but didn't want you to be without a reply :)

Hopefully someone will read this now I've bumped it up.
