It's with great sadness I must announce I will be closing my doors for good. As some know I live in rented accommodation. My landlord has informed me that he wishes to sell.
I'm not in a position to buy, and I've tried relentlessly to find somewhere suitable to childmind from. Landlords don't want childminders living in their homes, it seems. Rent prices are ridiculous. There's nowhere nearby, big enough, in my budget, that will accept me, so I've been forced to rethink my future.
I will be working my last day on the 17th March. Then I will take on a new role in a childrens home.
This way, I can find a home easier for my family and have the stability to finally, hopefully, get back on the property ladder.
I've absolutely adored my job for the last almost 18 years. I never lost my passion for Childminding. I'm so sorry for letting my current parents down. If this situation wasn't like this, I would of been a Childminder until retirement.
Love to all,
Helen xx
