    I have two mindee's who share a birthday, and another mindee who shares a birthday with my dd. all different ages and another mindee who shares a birthday with my dad. With over 7 billion people using 365 days of the year, bound to come across with a few coincidences

    One of my mindees shares their birthday with me and is one day younger than another of them.

    My DD1 had a friend at school who had the same birthday as me, and her mum had the same birthday as DD1!

    I had an enquiry about 18 months ago and being my usual disorganised self left it to the end of the phone conversation, after we had arranged a visit, to ask the Mum her name and that of her daughter. Mum has the same name as me and LO has the same name as DD1. Neither name is particularly common.

    Even more of a coincidence I had a short term contract for another girl with the same name at the beginning of this year. All of us had chosen then name as it unusual. There is however a few years between each of them 15, 7 & 2years old.

    I started minding two brothers a few years ago now (still have one of them, but the other one became too old to need a minder). Anyway, my own DS has a surname that can also be used as a first name. His first name and surname are the same as the first names of the two brothers! IE my DS name ****** ****** and one mindee is ****** and second mindee is ******.

    Hope that's not confused anyone, read it slowly! LOL

    I got a text message on my birthday last year from my old Boss from when I was a nanny to say their oldest child had just had a baby girl. I was out having breakfast with friends and said 'I am a nanny!' well it felt like it and on my birthday too

    I replaced a mindee leaving to go to school with another sharing his birthday but a different year too
    Happy to be back with the Greenies
