hi this is more of a moan really than anything else but as OH refuses to listen anymore i thought id sound out on here!!
I have looked afer a 5yrold girl since september,, after school and in the hols,,, she is a very emotinal child and gets fed up easily,,, I have provided lots of activites and she seemed to be settling well but since christmas she has been crying at school wanting mum or dad to collect her and not me yet when shes here she has been fine and happily played with the others,, 3 days a week term time only i have 3 other girls who she gets on really well with and on these days she is definatly happier although not unhappy on the other days,, mum thinks its just being unsettled since christmas and the child apparently says she likes me and likes comming here and I think it could be cause mums not working at the moment so she wishes she could go home with mum ,, i have asked her before christmas if she liked comming here and she says yes but mum said today at school she was upset again wanting mum to collect her,,, im not sure what to do,,, i could try talking to the girl again but she will probably say she likes comming here,, i just hate the thought of somone not being happy here and also dont want to loose anyone cause they were not happy as obiviously thats bad for buisness,, mum seems sort of ok with it and is paying to keep me on till she finds a job so i guess if she was that worried she would take her out of my setting straight away,,, i also wonder if she crys at school cause she knows the teachers would be sympathetic so plays on it a bit although i am not sure how to explain this to mum without sounding im mean .
aaaaaahhhhh,,, some times this job is a pain!!
