Hello! Apologies for maybe confusing you, bu hopefully you will follow this and offer some advice.......
A mum came to see me this morn for care for her 9 month old in August for 3 days a week, and before and after school for her 4 year old from Sept for 3 days a week. The mum works shifts so for two weeks she would pay £113.25 each week for both children's care (7.45am til 4pm), and another week it would be £92.25 per week (11am til 5.30pm with no school drop off, pick up only).
She's gone away to discuss with her husband and will hopefully get back to me (though my dog may be a problem for her anyway!?)
And now I've just had an email from a second mum who I already know, who needs care for her 9 month old baby from June, 4 days a week, set hours (8.30 til 4.15) which would be worth £112 per week. So which parent would you choose based on days, hours and money?
But this is where it gets even more complicated.......
The second mum has actually already signed a contract with a CM in the next town but says she would prefer to use me as I live round the corner and she knows me. I know the CM she has signed the contract with, she befriended me a few months ago and invited me along to the monthly CM drop in (I'm newly registered) and she has been so nice to me. The CM told me at the last drop in that she had signed this contract and she was really pleased about it. She then told me that she is going to terminate the contract of an existing mindee of hers as this new one is more lucrative, and she offered me the existing mindee! So now I have a moral dilemma!!!
Hope that this makes sense! Help!!! What woul you do?
