Hi guys
I am a Children's Services Officer with Family Day Care and I have been in this role for 8 years. Prior to that I worked in Long Day Care. I am expecting my first child in 8 weeks. I would definately choose FDC over LDC based on my own personal experience and the fact that I don't feel babies get the one to one attention they need in a LDC centre. Becoming a FDC carer is not for everyone but if you have the patience and experience with young children and you would like to stay at home and still earn an income, whilst choosing the days and hours you wish to work, then FDC can be a very rewarding experience. There can be a lot involved in the registration process due to the regulations and policies but this is a positive thing as you are looking after someone's precious child and you want the reassurance that you are leaving your child in the care of a suiotable person who will provide high quality care.
