Seeking childminder 2 days a week, February start, Maidenhead
About Me
Hello, I'm mum to a 3.5 year old. We are moving to Maidenhead and looking for a childminder 2 days a week, flexible which days. Our daughter has been with a nanny 2 days a week since age 1, but we’d now like to support her transition to Reception in September by placing her with a childminder. We are flexible as to which 2 days of the week we need support, depending on your availability.
We are now looking for someone who will develop an attuned relationship and loving bond who is experienced with shy and sensitive children. She takes time to warm to strangers and can have a hard time with big life changes like new childcare--we are looking for someone who will help her feel safe and support her to get to know you and the other children in your care.
