Fingers crossed for you. Let us know the response.

It's horrible that we have to become so cautious of enquiries isn't it

With all the scams going around with childminders, I'm would like your say on this email i have just recive. It might be someone on here how is a genuien person, as i posted in one of the forums where i'm at.

here is the email.

hi John

I beleive you have vacancies for child minding. Could you please tell me where abouts in Barrow you live, how much you charge and how many children you look after (and their ages)? Also do you have a garden?

Thanks

Rachael.

Sounds genuine i've had similar enquiries, however i never give out my details on e-mail, i mail back and ask them for their number or ask them to telephone me to arrange for a meeting. I put something like this " thank you for your enquiry, I do have vacancies at present. Due to the nature of my job and i am sure you can understand that i do have to be cautious when giving out details regarding my care via email, and therefore would welcome the opportunity for a meeting whereby with can discuss fully the care you require. Please telephone me on xyz or alternatively please mail me your number and i will give you a call - look forward to hearing from you, with kind regards"

Hi

Got reply back and it's gen, she got my email address from this forum under advertise you vacancies here. She is looking for options for childcare and she will think about me so i've email my home phone number and put a link on the email to my home page so she can have a look at what good care i offer.

Hope she phones as she sounds a realy nice mum, and with my rev and being well liked i think she will feel comfortable me looking after her child.

John. (Johnboy)
