23/09 21:08 - How Much Should I Charge or Pay (Locality: Cork)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I take care of 2 boys age 4 & 6. One is in preschool and finishes a different time to his brother, their schools are a 15k trip one way so 60k every day for me just to collect them. I also provide dinner & snacks. I charge €40 a day right now (one finishes at 12 the other at 2.40) and they are collected between 5 & 5.30. Should I be charging more or is this a fair price? Thanks for any help!!

Yes I would be charging more than that, that´s a lot of driving everyday! You should be getting €55/60

thanks for that, I had already asked for €50 a day but as they are both in school it was knocked down to €40... think we need to have that talk again :~)
