Thanks for the feedback everyone . I know i have a little girl myself and i would never expect that from anyone especially if I drove a porche & owned 2 house plus had a cleaner ( which they do). I think in too soft for these people i just don´t want them to say they will find someone else as i wouldn´t like to do that on the children..

they own a porche.they are taking you for a ride.and its not in the porche.you should ask the cleaner how much she is getting.its probably more than what they are paying you .a cleaner is 10 euro an hour..for what you are doing you should really be on 12 euro and add on your petrol usage

Just be out straight with them, I no it´s hard- if they really want u to mind their kids they should be paying more and respecting u more not taking advantage!and if they don´t listen maybe start looking for another Childminding job-( be straight from the start- money, hours, feeding, holiday/sick pay) hope it works out for you! No time like the present to give them a ring! Don´t have people like this walking all over you! Xxx

Well then I would bite the bullet and tell them you cannot afford this you need set amount a week to pay your bills, only you know what this is maybe you could agree a weekly rate of 300e a week, every week to inc bank hols and 2 weeks summer and 1 week xmas. If they cant agree to this say unfortunately as much as you love their children you will have to look around for another job and do this there are lots of jobs on here and on rollercoaster,ie

Stacey,
You seem stressed about this whole situation. While I am sure you see it as an income, you must be objective about what you are actually getting from your current situation. If you print off the official childminding Ireland form, it will give you a guide line as to what to ask for. The first few pages are really addressed at creche situations, but I find it handy when taking on another child, as it has all the obvious questions re sick pay, days off, bank holiday pay etc. It seems to me that you are being very much undervalued at present. While you might feel uncomfortable, addressing this with your present employers, your situation will continue until you do confront the issues that are bothering you. You are defintiely being underpaid for your services, and the parents should be ashamed that they would think so little of their children.

contracts contracts girls minding is a job treat it like that
a contract will have on it that you review your rates every year or if they ask
you to clean .
just say you reviewed your rates and as from june your rates will be .......... have the rate broke down ie food ,petrol i charge per km.log your km every morning round it off for a full week, around 25cent per km .
good luck

what litre is your car and how far do you drive.you should clock how much petrol you use in 1 day and work from that.i was once told that petrol usage was my problem and they wont pay it.but the thing was.i was driving their kids here and there.and clocked up a lot of miles each week.

I have already stopped childminding for them as the arrangement at the start was for them to drop and pick up from my house as i have small baby ended up me up there every morning having to bring my baby out in cold getting kids up washed dressed breakfast then drive to creche back to mine & drop them home . At the Easter break i asked would she drop them to me as there was no creche run and wanted to keep my baby indoors and give her well needed rest her reply was "" i wont be waking my boys up that early to bring them to your house you will just have to bring the baby up " that was it for me .
