Townsville Mums #3

[Freya]

The Director is a lady in prob her late 20's maybe early 30's, er her name might be Sarah? Im hopeless with remembering names so I only know the boys Room Leaders by face lol I havent seen anything to make me think they dont take good care of the boys but they only go for 5 or 6hrs once a week. Im considering putting them both in private school affiliated daycare next year like the ones run by the Catholic schools.

I usually drop the boys off at care by 10ish so I might be a tiny bit late so save me a seat

Afternoon ladies, how we all feeling?
Anna~ yes i no Sarah just before i left there she was the group leader in the pre-school room i was her assistance she is quiet nice and good at her job. i think the girls i had problems with no longer worked there! I worked there for about 10 months b4 having DS then went back when he was one for a couple more months until **** hit the fan very long story but my mum was the director there for a long time and some girls had it in for her and caused big problems and with in a week 5 staff members walked (including me and mum) and they went from a 5 center room to a two...but that was over 12 months ago now! and i here they have done alot off renovations!
Anyway LoL
Ladies i wont be able to make Fridays meet darn, but im off to Cairns me and DP (ex) are working at things (im a sucker for punishment) anyway he suggested that me him and the kids go to Cairns for the weekend so we leave Friday and come home Monday how nice

I would love to Sara but I havent the foggiest idea how to find them and Ive been a slacker with my study lately Im starting to wonder if I made the right choice becoming a doula because I cant see how there are enough women to be clients for 5+ doula's in Townsville.

There are plenty of women! Unfortunetely, not many women in Townsville have heard of Doula's. Nearly every person I meet and tell them what I do looks at me weird when I say the word "Doula". But once they realise what it is I do, they think its a great thing.

At the moment there are only 2 of us who are actively taking on clients. The other 3 are either TTC themselves or are busy raising their own families. They are available as back-up Doula's though.

Well I guess at the moment you should just focus on yourself. The birth of your next baby should solidify whether you want to be a Birth Worker or not. Enjoy your pregnancy while it last hun.

I never knew what a Doula was until i meet Sarah LoL, do use actually work for the hospitals or for urselfs? And only get jobs when some1 calls you?
I would love to go to uni and do midwifery i think it would be such an amazing job....but i dont even no were to start!

Sara and Anna, Maybe you should approach Babies Galore, Bay Bee Cino and Lollipos to see if you can put up advertising in the windows or something. Then your target Audience will see them.

I hope I get that this week. The travel system I want is on sale at Target! could save over $100! DH wont let me layby it until I have a sticky

Looking forward to Friday!!!

Tanya, Bummer that that centre only goes from 15 months! Em is 14 months next week!
