how annoying is it that babysitters can hold such an important role in life...they can free you to go have a fab night out, and they can shatter your plans at the drop of a hat..grrr

nevermind blaming things on the weatherman, from now on its blame the sitter

I looked into setting myself up as a registered childminder actually. Seems to be an expensive pain in the ass. I dont need a diploma to change a nappy or get the crayons out to play.

I had decided to bin this idea but since this is a recurring thread I'll stick it out there again.

I have a current (squeaky clean I might add) Disclosure Form, have babysat before, wont ask questions about where you are going/ who you are doing :P and will be reliable. No formal qualifications related to childcare.

I'm happy to do overnight and can babysit in most of the central belt, public transport permitting.

I'm self employed so with a weeks notice (2-3 days at a pinch) I can come whenever. I'm doing this because in the currently climate, being self employed is shit frankly.

Drop me a message here with your phone number or requesting mine if interested.

I looked into that and its not something I'm prepared to do as I already have one buisness which happens to being going through a dry patch. I'm a decent, hygenic cook, have done first aid courses am just looking for a few pennies cash in hand to tide me over.

Babysitters......................

Oh don`t get me started!!!!!

never easy finding time for meets when `uve a 12yr old daughter..

parents both don`t keep best o health so they aint up to it most the time...ex is generally somewhere off the radar scale not to be found...and usual reliable sitter always seems to be havin relationship troubles etc etc when u need em..

So there we go..anyone fancyin a meet ..forewarned is forearmed lol
