One of my mindees who I have had ft for the past 2 years is due to go to school ft in September. She is currently in school nursery in the afternoons at a diff school to my DD and DS x2 and their schools finish at the same time. I have managed this as if my DH is on shift and cannot collect my own my mother collects them. However I am not happy with this as the reason I became a minder was so I could be there for my kids all the time and not rely on others.
I have forced myself to do this since the LO started nursery as I drop off and collect her so get paid for that time as I am responsible. However when she starts school it will only be after school hours. It not about the money but more the fact that I feel I am letting my kids down for the sake of and hour and a half looking after this mindee after school.
I want to chat to lo's parents about it but don't know how to start. I also dont want them to think that it because the fee will odviously a greatly reduced one when lo starts school.
Lo's older brother goes to a different minder who only does after school so I dont even know if they will still want me to have lo come September or if she will be going with her brother.
Hope this makes sense! Any advice please??
