They are trying to push for nanny's to be on the ccb but not happening as yet.
a few fdc do in home care but not in my area.
I saw both centres on friday just gone. and explained that i have pushed my start date back a month and we have no family and dont know a soul in this city, the only option is i forfiet my position or work nights and weekends until 2013. this would mean DH would have to take a week leave without pay for my to undergo inital orientation again which is our last resort.

neither centre said anything just that i have to be on the bottom of the waiting list.

Even when i initially looked at CC for DD who is almost 5 - i was told she would be on a waiting list until 2013 - go figure!!! luckily i was able to secure a kindy space at school for her.

it is ridiculous.

Cat - i agree! and being a part time working mum who has never had a day to myself in 5 years i would love to have my kids in care and rest, but unfortunately i need to work to afford the child care
