Working from home

gingersnap

I have been working full time since my daughter was 6mths old, but I am now losing my child minder. I may have to give up my job as a new childminder will be too expensive to have full time. I will still need to earn a regular income, but will need to be at home for the children. Any suggestions? I have a small avon round which I currently fit in round my full time job.

Childminding

I am half considering it... really... and it isn't so hard to get into, and I think my little ones would love having other kids around...

.. I would have to change my ways a bit.. no pyjamas until noon and the house would have to be immaculate, plus I would need to neaten the house up a bit..

.. but it is a nice money earner.. without you really needing to leave the house!

My current childminder is closing down as she hasn't had any new children in the last year and only 3 enquiries so I don't think I am in a good area to set up as a childminder. There are a lot of regulations covering childminders and specific things you need to have if you are going to be registered with ofsted.
