Demand to mind kids on Saturdays??

nubineeprincess

Hi all

I was just wondering if people could give me any feedback on this??
I have just been accepted in St.Pats to do the B.Ed and i have other experience in child care from subbing to helping out in my mothers Montessori school. I need a part time job for college and i was thinking of advertising for babysitting and maybe minding children in the day on saturdays/sundays for people while they shop as i know from aunts/uncles that its hard to drag kids around if your trying to shop for something for yourself. I think it would be good to work in this field while in college.
I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestion for doing this??
or if they think there is a market out there for this...????

I really appreciate any feedback!!:D:D:D

Thanks a million!:)

Just a thought but it could be another option on how to earn some money while utilising your skills, would it be possible to run something like an arts & crafts activity on the Saturday mornings?

There are parents who would be interested in sending their children to an organised activity such as arts & crafts sessions. I know plenty of parents who would love to have somewhere to send their children for 2 or 3 hours on a Saturday morning so they can have a few hours to do things that need doing. Not all children are into sports or some would be too young for certain sports.

You could advertise and book children in by the term. This way you're whole day isn't taken up

IsThatSo?

I love this idea, especially for the younger children who are too young to do other activities. I guess there would be insurance issues etc. to look into? Maybe you could run something in your local community centre and work under their insurance by paying for a room?

there would be a market for sat afternoon and sunday afternoon

probably for people with young kids and couples who bought work

also, for business people

good sitters are vv hard to find
