**Buzz Lightyear** · 05-03-2009, 05:53 PM

Wow just had a look and it seems everyone is doing it! I never thought to advertise on ebay and would never have thought to look for a childminder on there if I am honest!

**helenlc** · 05-03-2009, 05:58 PM

WOW - I LOVE Ebay and now I can put myself on there??

FANTASTIC!!!!

my link
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/OFSTED-REGISTE...1%7C240%3A1318

if its free then why not i say, you know if it will cost you before tyou submit so if dont want pay then dont submit

i will add link to my website once ive done some updates i wanna do to it

there is no one within 10miles of my postcode advertising - so could work in my favour

Brillent idea thank you

**mabel** · 05-03-2009, 06:10 PM

I guess its worth a try although all my enquiries come through the local council, keep them updated when you have a vacancy.

school receptions are a good idea too and local pre schools

**Buzz Lightyear** · 05-03-2009, 06:24 PM

Well if it's free then it's got to be worth doing!

Thanks Annie for the info

Have now changed it. I thought I had selected that my whole address would not be shown.

Thank you for pointing that out to me.

any advertising is better than no advertising and free is just an added bonus (they will start charging soonnow you watch)

Not that I wish to **** on anybodies bonfire, but I would be seriously sceptical of a parent who found childcare on any site such as: Gumtree, *****, Ebay etc.

I had a lovely nanny job I found via ***** and have had quite a few children and enquiries through there too.

I have had one or two off Gumtree and only put myself on Ebay yesterday!!!

The worst one I advertised on is yell.com as all I get are cold callers asking if I want this and that. Wont do that again when it runs out (although did get a temporary babysitting job from it)
