My landlord said no :(

[littlepumpkins]

Eventually my landlord got back to me and he said I can't childmind from the house, I'm so gutted

I asked why and he said its due to his mortgage being a buy to let and they have certain rules and regulations, so my dream has been shattered.

Just want to say thank you for all those that have me great advise over the time I've been a member on here and I wish you all the best in the future. Xx

Sorry to hear that, it is true that some buy to let mortgages have strange clauses in them - one of ours in our Buy to let mortgage is that we are not to let the house to students or family members. Hope you haven't spent too much money on training courses and registration fees etc - maybe you could apply to work in a Nursery instead if you are sure you want to work with children. Let us know of any updates

If you know any other minders maybe you could work with them and give a percentage of earnings.

[littlepumpkins]

Thank you, it was a career I wanted as I wanted to work with children but also because I have a 11mth old so can stay at home but earn a living at the same time.

move house!

[Ali56]

Thats a shame Could you become a nanny instead? there are a few round our villages who take their own babies with them xx

[littlepumpkins]

Cannot afford to move, we had a house available but the landlady wanted us to move earlier than we could afford typical

How would I qualify as a nanny? Do I need certain qualifications? X

[Katiekoo]

I'm so sorry to hear that, what a shame for you
Nannying might be a good option for you, I don't think you need specific qualifications, but you can get some if you want.
Good luck.

You could do level 3. You don't really need to be qualified, if you can find a family that don't require qualifications. You may get paid less. You can also be Ofsted registered nanny. That may help you get a job, you would have to be police checked, have first aid and pay your money to Ofsted, I think its quite a lot around £150. Did you explain to your landlord that childminding is not counted as running a business from the home? I did have the same problem with one of my landlords but once I gave him the information regarding childminding it was fine. Good Luck

[littlepumpkins]

Yes, his wife is a childminder so I thought he would understand but he said its due to his buy to let mortgage not allowing me too. He isn't a great landlord so not sure if he even asked to be honest but end of the day I need to accept it and try something else. X

Yes, you are right. Sorry he's not more understanding. One day you may be in the position to move houses! Hope you find something that suits you and your family.

[tas]

That's such a shame

I hope in the future you find yourself in a position to be able to move house and start childminding

[littlepumpkins]

Thank you everyone x

[bluebell3]

really sorry to hear this - good luck with whatever you decide in the future. xx

[MrsPixie]

Sorry it didn't work out. We really struggled to find somewhere that would let me mind and we had to move really quickly too. Good luck with whatever you do next

[littlepumpkins]
