What are your longest hours working?

[It's a small world]

As the title says what is the longest you work either with one mindee or all day.

I have just finished an 11 hour day with one mindee who comes once a week as parent (friend) need me to keep mindee a little longer today .

Arrived at 7.20am and left at 6.30pm On a normal day I still have them 10 hours glad its only once a week

[kellib]

My longest day with a mindee is 8am to 4pm and even then it's not very often as it depends on Mum's shifts, it's normally just 10am to 4pm

I usually work 8am until 6pm I used to work 7.30am until 6pm but I put a stop to it. In an ideal world I wouldn't work past 5.30pm as I have my own 2 young children to see to but needs must and this particular mindee and her family are lovely so I do.

Every other week our 1st mindee arrives at 7 am and our last leaves at 6.30. The other week is 7am start and 6.pm finish 3 days and 5pm the other 2

Presently work between 11 and 12 hours every day (6.30am to 5.30/6pm). Used to do 7am to 9.30 pm (14.5hours!) but it was dreadful and I'd never do it again.

Gosh well done all you. Im glad I only do it once a week. I did used to do it 3-4 days a week but my after schooler recently left me so most days I finish at 4.30 which allows me some family time with my 2 ds's We work such long hours for such small pay does anyone really know how lucky they are to have us

I work 7.30am to 6pm Tues to Thur. 8am to 6pm Fri. The longest any child is here is 10 hours (8am to 6pm) but I have one who does 7.30am to 4.30pm. That one isn't here Fridays.
Thankfully I have Monday off.

On two days a week I work 7am - 6.30pm so 11.5 hours. I have one mindee who comes early and another who stays late.

[kel1983]

I work 8am -8.30pm Monday, Tuesday and Thursday Lukily I work with my mum so we do get some time out through the day.

[Pipsqueak]

I used to have one child from 7.30am through till 9.30/10pm then the child started school so i would have her before school and then after school till them - this was twice a week, occasionally three times a week.... LONG LONG day for all involved.

[Shamai]

I currently look after two little ones from 7am to 7pm two days per week - the last hour is usually the worst as I need to keep them awake and they are so tired and grumpy, bless them! xx

[helengreen13]

The longest day I work is 7.30am til 8.15pm. Its really hard as X is only 4 and get tired and I insist my own children age 4 and 6 goes to bed at 7.00pm and 7.15pm and my eldest goes at 8.00pm and THEY THINK ITS SOOOOOO UNFAIR that X gets to stay up and they dont .....

What a horrible mum I am ?

I do 6.15am till 6.00pm some days, with different children throughout the day, Friday nights are the toughest cos you can gaurentee the last parent is always late and then wants a natter!!! lol!

[jelly15]

I have one mindee who arrives at 8am and leaves at 6pm and the others vary but I always do a 10 hour day. Some people don't appriciate that we do 50 hours a week, my DH included. They think that as we are home it is not the same as someone who "goes out to work", or that is what my sister told me.

[jelly15]

It is odd that my two Los are both late today . Still more time here while I wait.

[Toothfairy]

My longest hours are 8am - 6pm, although I did work up to 7.30pm one night as a one off as it was Parents evening.

I know these are short hours compaired to some CM's but I'm knackered by 6pm

[justdaz]

I work 6.30-6pm, daily. I have done this for a number of years.

From May one of my early starters is finishing as mum going on maternity leave. The other early starter only comes 2 days a week so I will then have 3 days a week starting at 7.45am! Cant't wait for the lie in.

[VeggieSausage]

Gosh we do work hard don't we I start at 7.45 and work til 6.30 for 4 days a week, wish it was a bit later in the morning and finished at 6 rather than 6.30 x

[Mouse]

As a rule I do 8am - 5pm, although that sometimes stretches to 7.45am - 5.15pm.

After years of early starts and late finishes I am now quite strict about what I take on. Nothing that requires an early start or a late finish!

[EmmaReed84]

My longest days are Thursday and Friday when I do just over 12 hours!

First set of mindees come at 7am and last mindee goes home at 7pm... Today however I have ALL mindees until 7pm
