childminder for 3           29/08/2011 13:21 - How Much Should I Charge or Pay (Locality: Kildare) ----------------------------------- I am currently on m/l and am going to start looking at different options for childcare for 3 children.
The oldest is going to Montessori for 3 hours a day. So some days he would need to be collected only and other days he would need dropping off and collecting. I do not need childcare for full week some weeks i need 3 days some weeks 4 days the odd week only 2 days.
The hours i need children minded from differ first day would be from 10am - 5:30pm following day 7:30/8am - 1pm .
Would i be better off looking for a daily rate and what would people feel a fare daily rate would be?
or would i be better looking for someone to mind them at a weekly rate and only send them when i need them minded. and again what would people feel is a fare weekly rate or even 4 day week rate?
And also as this is first time having a child in pre school does the rate i would pay for him change or stay the same during school term and holidays?
