desperate for childminder!

[annemarie482]

this really is my last resort!

I'm looking for a child minder in or around wick for 2 kiddies 2 1/2yrs and 7 months.

i require the minder for 3 days

wed 9-2
thurs 9-6
sat 9-6

does anybody know anyone who might be able to do it?!

been looking over 4 months now, without success and my job now depends on it.

i would like to continue working but obviously my kiddies come first.

my partner works away and i am currently relying on family, which is not a permanent solution

no sarky comments please, just advice!

Have you contacted the care commission for an up to date list.

What a shame. I know that it isn't what you want but have you thought of becoming a childminder yourself? There is obviously a shortage and you will be earning money as well as having time with your children. I know that it isn't the same as there is little adult interaction but it may be something to think of.

[shamrock2007]

You will prob get childcare no problem for your 2days during the week its weekends that no one wants to childmind. I used to be a childminder & did unsociable hours but nobody else really wanted them. Have you tried Angela Levack?

[annemarie482]

i tried her a month ago but she had no spaces....does she now?
thanks for the advice.

[Skerries]

Good luck with your search. I hope it all works out for you.

[shamrock2007]

I'm not sure not been speaking to her lately but it was just her & myself that kind of did wkends. I know that myself & a few others gave up this year so their is a shortage. Is there any way you could change your sat?

[annemarie482]

i probably could change the sat to another week day if i could find a childminder that could do it.
its so hard finding a minder with one space never mind two though
and others have told me they dont take under 1's anyway.

[unicorn]

childminders do take under ones but are limited in their numbers to only one under one at a time so it is a very limited space.

I think you can contact the Care Commission to have that changed in certain circumstances though - a variation on your Registration.
