You could try and advertise but there are so many childminders with vacancies due to people either losing their jobs or reduced hours add to that those that are doing it legitimately are having to compete with a lot who are claiming benefits and childminding as a top up.

Are you looking to work from your own home?

There is a big demand for childcare but employers are now looking for people with at least a qualification of QQI Level 5 in Childcare to be a Nanny, Childcare assistant etc.

There is a huge demand for it, childminding.ie is a great resource as is your local childcare committee .
