thank you all for your feed back it was a great help.i need to work from home as i tried to work outside the home a while back i got a job in dunnsstores but with half days off school and in day training days and what not it did not work out.so back to chilminding.i also like to be here when my children come home from school.i am lucky that my husband has a job.but it is hard to try and fit working hours around his job.so back to childmind and beside that i love working with children mine are a bit older now and dont take up so much time . the time flys,just seems like yesterday they were babies now one in 5 class and the other in 2 year .so i want to make the most of the time i can .when you turn around one day and the are adults. talk agin soon
