I was a private child care provider for years @Former-Member

I can not have any children of my own but then became a step mum

Nearly all the children I looked after are on Facebook and having children of their own 🥰

Still not old @Shaz51 !!

And I am glad you got to be a step mum. A mum is a mum, no matter how you got there xx

What made you stop doing childcare?

In response to: Re: Meet the Peer support workers

Re: Meet the Peer support workers

Did childcare from the age of 18 until I was 43 years old

Too many Government rules and regulations and paperwork @Former-Member

Re: Meet the Peer support workers

Yep, a lot of jobs working with children these days have been more about having to prove you do your job or how to minimise incidents than actually doing it! it seems insane, especially when you are working with little people who move in a fast paced environment. If you stop to write something up, the moment has gone and the child as well!

what are your plans for tomorrow?

Very true @Former-Member

Plans for tomorrow is a 4 hour cleaning job in the morning

Then to go food shopping

And then clothes shopping for my mum who is in aged care

How about you ?

Evening @Shaz51

Sorry I missed your message last night.

I spent the day quietly fixing a few things around the house. I learned how to rewire a fly screen today! The hardest part was working out how to get the screen itself through my narrow hallway and out onto the verandah so I could fix it.


How did you go with your clothes shopping? Did you get to take them to your mum yet?

In response to: Re: Meet the Peer support workers

Re: Meet the Peer support workers

Well done @Former-Member

Yep work done , food shopping done, clothes done but have not taken them to mum yet

We bumped in D1 while shopping 😀
