How much should I expect to pay?

How much should I expect to pay?           reply
24/03/2011 14:05 - How Much Should I Charge or Pay (Locality: Cork)
-----------------------------------
Hi all,

I wonder if you could help me in what I should expect to pay a childminder for a 3.5 year old currently attending pre school 3 mornings a week and a 7 year old in school.

The hours would be 8.30 - 5.30 with drop off and collection of pre school and collection from school at 2.30.

Does the rate go upwards when it´s full time during the holidays?

So hours would be as follows until the summer:

3.5 year old -
1 hour in the morning and 5 hours in the afternoon x 3 days
9 hours x 2 days

7 year old
3 hours x 5 days

Summer would be full time i.e. 45 hours per week x 2 children.

After summer the 3.5 year old will be attending pre school 5 mornings a week, so 6 hours per day.

Thanks in advance.
