Ok so i dont have any enquiries in months and now i am struggling to decide who to take and who not to. Lots of possible ones that have not come off so these are the ones so far!
My current situation is a mindee all week..few hours but good pay as i get day pay still from an old setup as mums hours fluctuated so much..has been the same for ages but i got notice 2.5 weeks ago and may lose her shortly..mum has a new job but is messing me about with the hours (see my other post!)..she also may be moving etc and not sure what's going on with her at the mo.
I have a LO on thur only but good holiday pay..in sept this LO will start school..i have her sis too..after school some days..
I have 4 school run kids, 2 ive had forever since i started..4.5 years and 2 are siblings but literally 1 or 2 days per week..again very up and down. So 4 s/run kids (car is always full)
So the ones im not considering losing are..I have the guaranteed 2 kids and school runs are also pretty set if not hard work (see posts!)..
Now this is where it gets hard..I have a new mum coming monday with a 4 month year old..i currently cannot do the hours unless i lose the school run kids..2 boys..she still wants to come round as is a friend of a friend and says she is keen for me to do so said i would try my best..this will be term only as she is a teacher..im assuming ok with half fee during holidays but? this would be for 4 days 8-30 till 4.30 again great.
The phone has just rung and a man has enquired over twins..2 boys 1.5 yrs old..i asked when to start and he said May..I then said what sort of hours and he said full time..again i asked what he classed as full time and he said 8-30am-5-30pm but his wife would walk to me to collect and works very close (not great english and gathered she is working very close by)..he said he had found me online and loved my website..seemed to understand the ins and outs (dont mean that in a patronising way) and asked if they could come round to see me..Again i can only do if i lose the kids on school run..I said i would have a quick check over my days etc and call him back..i need to work fast as CM all struggling for work..
Aaah help i really dont know what to do for the best..really good job twins isn't it? my head says lose the school run kids and fill up with at least hopefully the twins and poss the baby..sorted..the other bit of me says dont lose secure school runs if the others dont work out..HELP!! do i call him and at least get them round..
Thanks i you have made it this far!
