Hi all, hope you are all well on this beautiful day! :D
Anyway sorry I have not been on for a while has few internet probs.
So here's an update: CRB is on its way, well mine is, hubbys is with the police so hopefully won't be to long....I understand I get a copy of mine and OH then OFSTED also get a copy? Now am I right in thinking I will not get my certificate until hubby's has come back?
Also - Mindee!!! I have had an enquiry from a mum who is single and a full time nurse with crazy shifts! She wants me to have her son mornings 6:30 - 7:30 am - then take him over to nursery (which is directly across the road to me) then pick him up 5:30 and have him until 9:30 (which is fine with me and I am registering for overnight care) but its not the same hours everyday, it shift work and could be an early/late or both.
I have said I will charge £3.00 an hour for my normal hours (which is 6:30 am - 6:30pm) then £4.00ph after 6pm. Does this sound reasonable? Also she may need me sat/sun which would be 12pm - 9:30pm and I have said I will charge £35 but I think the reaction from her with these charges was that I was being a little expensive? Also she is paying the private nursery so I feel sorry for her really (I know, I know I need to be stong lol)
Now another big question she needs me as soon as! like now. Am I allowed to look after him and not charge her until I am registered but perhaps class it as a settling in? As it would be getting me some experiance and it would be a good set up really once I am registered??
Oh my word sorry for this long post, you'll all be sorry I am back now :p lol!!!
Thanks in advance everyone xxxx
