Sorry I am misunderstanding this I think - Brillo are you paying 50euro per day for the 3 children to bne minded? If so this is a mega bargain- the going rate for 3 children- with 2 collections and one child under one- would be a minimun 75 per day. So I think that if your minder is only getting 50euro then she is being underpaid if anything .
Obviouslt certain factors will affect rates, Location and start and finish time- but if you are Dubin Based and your minder works an average 7+ hours a day then I would suggest the above rate.
HTH

i dont knowwhere the other replies are coming from either they didnt read your post properly and note that you have 3 children that need childcare or they expect it to be done for nothing no way would you get anyone to mind 3 kids for 35 to 40e per day not sure how much it will actualy be but id reckon between 70 nd 80e per day

Well done monmon!!!!!! I agree with you. How can someone work for 35-45 euro/day to mind three children????? That`s whay we are being paid less then we deserve: because there are a few childminders willing to work for 30 euro/day .

Hi - the average rate around Dublin would at least be €45 for the full day, anything less would just be ridiculous! From the hours of 8-6pm that would only work at at €4.50 per hour! Normal would be at least 1/2 that for siblings, but if your childminder is going to be collecting and minding during school holidays etc you need to come to an arrangement about pay. Best of luck.

Hi – normal rates in Dublin would be around €45 per day for 1 child, and around €30/35 for 2nd. Remember crèches only give around 5% discount for 2nd children. If your childminder is responsible for collecting your child during the hours of school they should be paid for that too. Remember Childminders have bills to pay too!

Depends if you are talking about having them minded in your home or childminders? Childminders who work from their own home can charge less becuase they can take up to 5 children so are sometimes making up to €1000 per week however someone in your own home is restricted to minding your child so therefore has to charge more for a one on one childcare service.

Yes agree with last statement 60 - 70 at least for 3 children, you would be paying at least 60 for 2, think of what a creche would charge you for that over 1000 per month per child!
