Looking for better work/life balance?
If you’re looking for a better work/life balance – becoming a childminder could be for you!
As a parent, you already have many of the skills needed to be a great childminder. If you have been looking for an opportunity for more flexible working that fits with your own family life, a fantastic package of support is available to help you get started in childminding.
Over 200 new childminders have recently joined the childminding workforce and enjoy the opportunity to design their day, their own way.
Robyn, a childminder from Dundee, loves her job: “To be trusted to nurture the children and shape them is such a privilege. I wanted a job that I loved and one that meant I could be there for my own children - you can’t get that time back. Childminding fits around my family life, and I’ll be eternally grateful for that.”
The Programme for Scotland’s Childminding Future package of support includes:
• One-to-one support every step of the way from the Scottish Childminding Association
• A minimum £750 business start-up grant
• Free online training
