Hi,

What is the going rate for a 4 year old and 7 year old in North County Dublin. I´m looking at 2 scearios:

4 year old currently in montessori 9-12
7 year old in school until 2.30

So looking for someone to mind kids from 7.30am and to drop both off and collect 3 days a week.

Then next September, 4 year old will be going to school so will have:

4 year old in school until 1.30
7 year old in school until 2.30

So 7.30 am to drop and collect both kids until 5.15 3 days a week.

What can i expect to pay for both scenarios?

Thanks!

Hi the going rate is usually 5 euro for one child and 8 for two an hour .But if your minder is on call in case kids are sick etc and can´t go out during school hours you may need to pay although kid´s in school

It´s really something you would need to discuss with your minder .Some only charge for the hours They have them

Hi! Thanks for the response.
We would be on call if either child was sick. I’m looking to agree a flat daily fee rather than a daily rate. So i read for part time school going child would be €25 approx per day.
Is €50 daily fee an accurate rate for the 2 of them per day? Or am I way off the mark? I would be providing dinner and snack etc for the afternoon.

Hi I have paid my child minder 75 a day for 3 kids all school going .And I pay this if in school or on mid term I prefer to have a set out going rather than different from week to week ,50:a day sounds ok .Hope this helps
