Topic - not vaccinating and childcare
First of all - a polite request to keep your opinions to yourself thank you xo
I’m wondering if anyone has any ideas on getting into childcare without needing to vaccinate? I suppose a nanny is one route but I'm exploring other options if possible. Do private daycares exist?
I will not be vaccinating my child she’s 15m and I’m needing to work so we can buy a house but I will not be vaccinating her.
Is there any way around this? Steiner schools?
I don’t have family to rely on. I am happy to stay home that’s no problem but in order for us to get approved and buy a house I need an income 🥲

I don't vaccinate either and have tried to do the same with hardly any luck. There might be non vax at home daycare groups? My mum suggested that for me if I ever wanted to think about working again. Goodluck, it's very hard to get your child into places unvaxxed... but I'm sure there's places your child can go that will except her :)
(Sorry not much of a help)
Thank you 🥰 it’s very hard… the system is not designed in favour to help anyone who chooses to not follow the “narrative” 😢

You might find a family day care that’s willing. It’s crazy that they’re not allowed because they’re not vaccinated. I just had a baby last week and I will not be vaccinating too.
amazing! I’m so glad more people are refusing to vaccinate their babies. I can honestly say my daughter is super healthy only ever had one cold as my mother shared her food… but she is super alert, smart and switched on, no crazy regressions… but all my friends babies are sick very often, had crazy regressions, always unwell and snotty. So for me proof is in the pudding and I’m so glad I choose not to 💉 her 🥰

Only option is private nanny. You can't get into childcare and won't be able to get CCS either

I feel you Mama! We’re in the same boat. Your options are to find a place at a private family daycare - these do exist, however be mindful that anyone who accepts your child is not playing along with the NJNP legislation so these types of places are quite hard to come by and kept on the down low for obvious reasons. A lot of the time it’s mums like us who decide to run something from their home to earn an income & look after their LO at the same time. My best advice to find one is to join some Facebook groups for likeminded mums in your State and you might find a lead. It can be hard to get a place when you do find one as there are so my parents in the same situation sadly 😢 or Private Nanny. There are only 2 exemptions with Daycare and it’s Health Care Card or Indigenous. Best of luck!

I think your only option would be a private nanny or an independent family daycare who doesn’t follow the rules. as majority of centres follow the legislation and your not going to qualify for ccs anyway.
