I had an email on Friday asking if I had a vacancy for before school care 7.30am - 9am term time only. The hours are perfect for me as I am quite happy not cooking any mindees tea at the mo lol so I said I could do it. Then she told me it was for the school that is literally 5 mins away but my kids dont go to that one So I emailed back saying I cant do it as it is a 10 min walk between schools and they only go in 5 mins apart. I gave her names and numbers of 3 minders I know who do cover her school and left it at that.
She has emailed me again today saying that she has spoken to the school and as long as he is there by 8.55am thats fine. My kids go in at 8.45am so at a push ( and with the triple buggy too) I could just about manage it, although Im not hugely keen! I mailed back saying I charge £5 per hour ( I dont!) and she said thats fine, no problem.
Gggrrrr! I couldnt say no!
So I suggested we did a dummy together run on Wednesday to see how it went thinking it wouldnt work and she will look elsewhere. She has just emailed me saying "Thats a great idea. J cant wait to meet you. You have come very highly recommended from my friend as you look after her daughter G. I know I will be happy leaving him with you as G parents cant praise you enough."
So now I feel in a right awkward position!
Its good money for little work but I am worried about over loading myself and worried about all the running between schools!
