I’ve taken a big bull by his horns and applied to become a registered child minder today – by the beginning of November I will be able to have my first children.
H is going to do the course with me so we can share the job – it will make more sense as she doesn’t want to go back to work.
I am also in cahoots with a friend who is going on a short course to learn to read tarot cards over the phone (£350pw) she is coming to see me in the next few days to tell me all about it.
Hopefully the course won’t cost a fortune (if it does I’ve had it) and hopefully it won’t take that long!
So I need something to tide me over for the next 3-4 months. I am going to the job centre on Monday (booked an appointment) I’m not telling them it will only be for 3-4 months.
This is a start – it’s not path I imagined I would be travelling along but method in my madness says that with the ‘credit crunch’ hitting and recession being talked about lots more mums might have to go back to work – it could work the opposite way in that they might not be able to go to work but there are very few child minders in my area now so it’s worth a try.
I probably don’t sound like the kind of person to become a child minder but I think I’d make a good one.
Fingers crossed I can now find something to tide me over.
I would NEVER do that - it sounds so impersonal and a bit of a rip off.
My conscience would not allow me to do it.
