The question is whether we think it's worth our while looking for the work, or doing all the admin associated with lo's who aren't here for many hours a week.
Maybe agencies will provide the answer? If it's purely a matter of matching needs to vacancies, then agencies with a large database of childcarers and potential clients will be well-placed to do so.
