Child minding 5euro per hour vs babysitting 10 euro per hour

Child minding 5euro per hour vs babysitting 10 euro per hour           reply
11/08/2019 13:40 - How Much Should I Charge or Pay
-----------------------------------
Hi
I have been minding a boy after school for 5 years now. I get 5euro an hour. As he has grown so has his appetite!!! He is only here for 2 hours but would eat on average food worth 1 to 2 euro every day. So that brings my profit down!!! When I go out the very odd weekend and I get a babysitter I get charged 10 euro an hour. How is this fair?

That 5e an hr is a myth...as a self employed Cmer you can charge what you like (of course you may not get the work if overpriced). For two hours work with food 10e is really selling yourself v short. Majority cmers don´t feed kids, especially preschoolers, for very reason youv said. After schoolers I calculate 2.50e for food, some days be less spent so youv more for another day or treat etc.
