Is there a Lower age limit for minding babies?

[Maxine73]

Hi,
Dont know if this is the correct area to ask this question, but here goes. Is there a lower age limit on a baby we can mind. I have had an enquiry from a parent who is on maternity leave from an employed job, but still needs to work at home for self employed job, her baby is 3wks old and she needs some care for a few afternoons or mornings a week. Thanks in advance

No lower age limit,my youngest mindee was two weeks. All those scrummy baby cuddles. I love little babies

I don't think there is a lower age limit, but if in doubt, you could always check with your insurance company

I've looked after lots of under 3 months, the youngest was 4 weeks.
