I regularly practice emergency procedures, including plans for what happens if I am injured or unconscious. I also arrange emergency help lists with local childminders, and open-house facilities and outings to prevent minders becoming isolated.
Income received from childminding goes back into my service provided and does not cover an assistant's wages, unless I did have six children eight to ten hours a day.
