A few questions regarding charges for childminders

A few questions regarding charges for childminders           reply
13/05/2013 07:40 - How Much Should I Charge or Pay
-----------------------------------
Hi,

I have 2 daughters, one would need collecting at 1.30-3.30 and the other 2.30-3.30. No petrol costs, all within walking distance (older daughter would prob even walk to childminder herself). How much would you pay? I know 1 child is normally €5 & 2 would be €8 in childminders home. Can I ask to pay €5 for the first hour and €8 for the 2nd? If I am being asked to pay €10 for the 2nd hour is that too much? They would only look for a fruit snack in that time which I would provide. Also how do you work paying for holidays? Can you ask the childminder not to work summers and expect not to pay?
Sorry a lot of questions, have only ever used a playschool for my older daughter.

that sounds ok to me.but when it comes to holidays.maybe even offer half rate.as she will be available to work.the holidays are quite long.a minder could end up getting another job.in that time
