childminding costs           01/08/2013 08:18 - Dublin West Childminders ----------------------------------- Hi I wonder could if anyone could advise me? I am taking on a new childminding position which we both have agreed an hourly rate between us but I have to travel quite a distance there and back which would cost approx 40 - 50 euro in petrol a week this is not factored into the hourly rate, would it be appropriate or not to ask for a little towards travel expenses??
