hi everyone...
I'm beginning to worry about how secure my business will be in the next few months..
my full time mindee .. has gone from part-time, to full-time, to 8am-6pm every weekday, to now 8-3.00 and as parents have now got a chance to move away will probably be going if sept in all works out for them or jan. if it doesnt. I feel totally exhausted with all these changes and in some ways feel that as the mindee is 4 on sept 1st that probably he's now best moving into a pre-school setting any way rather than being full time with me.
one of my part-time mindees is lovely and may/may not be back in sept and is term-time only so I'm getting paid nothing during each hol. which seemed okay when I first took him on but it means for me to bridge the gap I'm having students during all hols now...
and finally my after school mindee has a lot of behavioural probs. but with me and at school and so to be honest I think he also is best in another setting come sept.
Now... this could leave me with no-one come sept. and I feel stuck in knowing how to move to a better happier place. Today I just had my own kids and it was great just being us.. I bought my eldest a magnetic abc and 123 board and he happily played on that this afternoon and my other on our train set we got to have some loving time as a family which I've missed very much recently (with actually working to much)....
firstly I feel nervous about advertising.. have started but havent got much back in return to date ... please can someone help me with this?
secondly, I feel run ragged with working and giving soo much time to kids that aren't mine and feeling my own are not really getting a good deal as of late...
I feel I need to find a better work life balance.. I've got a 2 & 5 yo and live on own so am feeling very responsible for bring in the mula... Its 8.30 again.. and I'm still thinking about work.. please can someone help me figure out how to get back to being good.. is it possible I've somehow burnt myself out?
