Why I became a childminder after 10 years in corporate HR
Burnout, a redundancy, and a conversation with my own children about what mattered. I retrained, registered, and opened my childminding setting. The pay is less. The meaning is more. I haven't looked back once. Sometimes the career change you're afraid of is the one you need.

Yes! And don't underestimate the power of word of mouth. My best clients came from referrals.
How do you handle clients who push back on your rates? That's my biggest challenge right now.
One thing I'd add — always follow up within 24 hours. It makes a huge difference.
