Well thats just wonderful!!
As you may know I have one mindee leaving in three weeks, so I have been keeping an eye out for adverts looking for care.. But I am waiting on one mum to make her mind up about nursery in sept to know what I have available ,, what I thought she wanted was to swap older ones hours for littler one when older one goes to nursery (eldest one does 3 days a week and little one 1 and 2 half days.. So thought I would be having little one three full days and older one maybe one day a week) today I asked her whether she had booked older ones place in nursery so I know what spaces I have ., she says no.. They want a 500 euros deposit and we are thinking of moving house!! So I said within area or out of it? She said dont know.. She grew up in country so would like to live out a bit but likes the facilities here. They haven't even viewed houses yet, but the fact she hasn't put the deposit on the local nursery makes me think she thinks there is a good chance they will move away!!
I suppose there is no way to hurry her along (wouldn't think she will easily get a place in nursery if she doesn't book it soon as they close in couple of weeks for summer!) but now I have no idea if I am trying to fill one full time space, or two part time ones and a full
Time one!(will only leave me with one part time mindee) .. I had been thinking of cutting back a bit and maybe only filling the full time space part time!
What to do?!! Dh says look after myself (the men always have the business heads don't they?!) and give her notice if I fill the spaces .. She is a lovely mum after initial teething problems, I am not overly attached to the kids, so don't want to leave her stuck but she works from home so is always chopping and changing what she wants so its hard to plan.. And as he says they won't think twice about you if they decide to move or do something different (Both a bit tender after notice from other mindee out of the blue)
It's the part I hate about this job the uncertainty!
Sorry just needed a moan to people who understand!!
