Part-time childminder

Hi, My partner David and I are welcoming our first child in January 2022, a little baby boy. We are both very excited about it ! We want to be pro-active and look at the best options available for future childcare =D We both partially work from home and we think a childminder would might be the best option for us - probably part time / 3 days a week - as I'm expected to be back to work after 26 weeks of maternity leave. This is all very new to us, so we are here to learn about how this work, fees, look at childminders available in our area, ect... We are looking for a childminder willing to take a 7 months baby from September 2022, located around Fairview/Marino.
