Ah... so the jobs market isn't as bad as it's being made out. You might have a point about qualifications though. I have seen a lot of jobs advertised which I'm qualified for, so maybe I just have the right ones. I'm not looking just now though. I'm still home with the kids. Where I live childminding is practically impossible.
A few people have said I should train as a childminder, but I'm afraid that's not for me lol
