Hi..
I was hoping to get some advice regarding childcare; I am currently eight and a half months pregnant with twins. At the moment I am planning to return to work at the beginning of November next year and have given my employers this as an approximate return date. This made me think about childcare options for my return- at the moment I would both want and need to return to work.
We live and work in Dundee but are not from the area. My mother in law has kindly offered to help out a couple of days a week – she lives in Aberdeen- which will be a great help. At the moment we hope she will be able to help out two days a week.
For the remaining 3 days therefore we will need to book them into a childminders (preferably). I am little bit worried as I hear it is difficult enough to get one place let alone two places – they say start looking early and am concerned that most childminders are not able to have more than one child under one (they will be just under one).
Having looked online there is various views but was hoping any twin parents/childminders may be able to offer some advice? It seems odd to be worrying about it given they are not even here yet but am a little bit worried.
Thanks,
