-----------------------------------
hi all,

Just wondering what is a fair daily charge to look after 3yr old and a 1yr old (brother and sister) from 7.15am - 5.30pm in my home. I would provide all meals snacks etc.

Thanks

I would say about 60euro per day. Maybe 65 depending, but 60 would be the min

I have only heard of people getting 35-40 for one child for those hours to be honest, Its a long enough day- early enough start and even a stay at home mother I think would expect at least 55 -60 for it.
I think any less would not be enough-
1 year olds are alot of work, then a 3 year old on top of that also you are providing all meals, you would be barely making a profit if you minded them both for 35euro.(remember childminders and stay at home parents still have bills to pay too)
I think that really would be way too low. HTH

hi there,
it depends on the minder, some stay at home mums do it for 35-40 per day. see what the minder charges and then perhaps if you are both happy to work together maybe you could meet somewhere in between!

I would say at least €70 very long hours & providing food etc. 10hrs & 15 mins works out about approx €7 per hour for 2 very young children. Thats good value!
