I d have no problem with being on standby (depends on your lifestyle etc. I would just text parent the day when I wouldnt be able), however you must ensure you get a minimum amount of work (whether youv the child or not). Otherwise you´ll end up waiting/wondering all week and could end up with no work/money at all.

Hi. I´m just wondering what the rate would be to mind an 1and half year old evenings and weekends. The hours are non specific so I would very much be on standby. I know €5 is the norm but if you have to be on standby and such a young child. Thanks for any responses.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I didn´t take the job as it was neither here nor there for me or the child. I have a young family too and need to have some sense of balance for them. Cheers to you all.

if I were you I wouldn´t entertain this agreement ,take it from someone who´s been there and done it you will be used and wont be appreciated .How can you ever make your own plans if your on standby..

€5 is not the norm, no one should have to work for that. The price of a childminder really depends on their qualifications and references. Charge a price per hour an as soon as it goes in to the next hour you are paid. Discuss costs when they cancel on you and holidays. Good luck x
