So would you be working in a centre or as a nanny? If it's in a centre it would be different from being a nanny, casue as a nanny you're 1:1, it's more relaxed, there's no policies or procedures you have to follow, there's no written work, no staff meetings or extra hours, blah, blah. I am a childcare worker, and to be honest, it's hard for me. It's not actually working with the kids that bother me so much as feeling like all I do all day is clean and think of others and pick up after other people. Which I do. I try to clean my house before I get the kids ready for childcare/mums and go to work, then at work (I start at 1130am, but have to be out of the house by 1030 to be on time for everything), I clean and pack away after the kids, then I come home and cook and clean after my kids. I finish at 3.00 so it's a little play with the kids, prepare and cook dinner, bath, book bed for the kids, clean up after dinner and tidy the toys. Then DH usually comes home (not his fault just his work hours!). So although I only owrk 3 1/2hrs a day, I am going going going aaaallll day. I don't get a break at work cause I'm not there long enough and I don't get to rest at home when my kids sleep, cause I'm at work. So I don't get any time to rest for myslef til they are in bed at about 7/7.30, well after I clean up from dinner and tidy the toys. I'm usually in bed by 9ish cause they are up at 5am. I'm buggered. It's not the work I don't enjoy, ut sometimes I think it would be easier for me if I worked full time, casue at least then I would have the excuse of being at work ALL day and that's why my house is a pigsty and why I'm so buggered. As it is I feel I'm doing everyting half arsed
