**ChocolateChip** · 13-07-2008, 04:11 PM

I say I'm open 8am-6pm but have been known to work from 6.30am(AAAAAAGH!) or until 9.30 one night, but I charge an extra rate for unsocial hours- well I'm supposed to anyway!

**sarah707** · 13-07-2008, 04:47 PM

My first mindee arrives at 740am ... then another at 8 ... then, 3 days a week, 2 more at 815.

I take 2 to school at 845, 1 to playgroup (2 days a week) and keep 1 or 2...

I pick up a different one from nursery at 1145 and the one from playgroup at 1130...

1 goes home at 3 (the nursery one) and I pick up the 740 one and another different one from school at 315.

1 walks from the high school most nights and comes for her tea.

My 2 arrive home from the high school.

They are all usually gone by 6 ... I don't know about vitamins Annie, I need alcohol most nights

Shush, I wasnt going to say that because Mandy and Miffy already have me down as an alcoholic.

I state that I do 8am to 6pm but at the moment during the school holidays its 9am to 4pm and then once they are back to school end of August its 8am to 5pm

**chels55** · 13-07-2008, 05:45 PM

so far i have only worked 9am till 5.30 which is great but was willing to do 8am -7pm to be flexable

**Heaven Scent** · 13-07-2008, 05:54 PM

Wait for it -
Mon Tues Wed 7.30 - 6 with a variety of school and play group drop offs and pick ups (including my own DD) I go to 3 schools and 3 playgroups.
Thurs 7.30 - 6.00 (but lovely mum doesn't leave until 6.30ish and I don't usually mind but if I have to go somewhere I do say must go no time to indulge you in chat about how wonderful your DS is today.)
Fri 7.30 -10.00 (but have been finishing @ 6 for past few weeks no evening child - not sure when he'll be back properly due to language difficulties.
Sat sometimes do 9.45-2.45 or some hours between these times - plus do 4.30-10.00 in the evening with little chinese boy but he's not been since before I went away in May as an Auntie staying with them and I'm soft on them and don't charge when he doesn't come due to unsociable hours and if I go out somewhere i take him with me and I also don't commit myself to doing every Fri & Sat - but do do more than I said I would due to DH's shifts and working abroad so tend to be in on my own so might as well be earning a few bob while doing it and he's lovely - must admit did have him last night at short notice. Didn't bother me as LO I have occasionally was due to come from 12-6 but Mums mum died on Fri so they cancelled again I wouldn't charge them for this - they can't help it and I knew the mum was ill and again I only have her when I have space andthey fit in with me a lot of the time. - so didn't mind having little fella as it almost made up for what I didn't earn during the day and he sleeps for a couple of hours so its quite easy.
Sundays: again I have little S only every now and again from between 3 hrs & 5 hours but charge her £4.00 ph

I haven't been asked to do a BH yet but I do charge double for that so would be £7.00 ph and no one has asked me yet - thats probably the reason.

I don't work them as a rule but do charge contracted children for them. Except maybe those on holiday only contracts although mum does claim tax credits so perhaps I should - I dunno.

I also do have a cleaner / volunteer student who comes in 2 hours per day Mon-Fri she does my Ironing and cleaning etc so keeps me on the straight and narrow plus she is a bit of company in the mornings plus I am acting as her mentor helping her through her NVQ L2 so it suits us both really. In her cleaning capacity she is self employed as a student she is a volunteer and lovely with children.

I start at 6.30am every weekday!

I finish at 6pm every weekday!

No wonder I'm shattered by the weekend when I try to get paperwork and planning done!

**manjay** · 13-07-2008, 07:50 PM

Wow!! I feel very very part time compared to everyone else

Mon, Weds & Thurs - 3:15 - 5:15
Tues & Fri 8:30 - 5:15

I did work everyday until one child had to be removed for unresonable behaviour (his not mine)

I do however run toddler group one morning a week and I support 3 young Mum's who are struggling with everyday life.

I will have a full timer to add to these in September but I have negotiated with Mum to send him to playgroup and nursery 2 days a week so I will still have some time to myself.

**Pudding Girl** · 13-07-2008, 08:16 PM

Mon-Fri 7.30am starts and work till either 5pm, 7pm or 10pm

Sat and Sun start either 12pm-5pm or 2pm-7pm or 5pm-10pm

Sometimes I have an hour or two in between one set of mindees going home and the late one coming, so I can get a nap if I need it
