-----------------------------------
If your registered self-employed (assume youv insurance) (childminding Ireland is buying you membership personal choice) you are in a great position to increase your rates, decrease your expenses or even do both. Part time days €10+ an hr is very possible for two siblings.
Is it 8 hours over three days? If so charge a day rate that makes it worth your while. Some charge €10 an hr per child.
School runs start at €3 a run (or calculate the milage).
Cut out the food, huge savings for you never mind the hassle.
Many childminders are only just breaking even or earning little when they actually sit down and add it up. Charging appropriately to what is required by the family is vital. Don´t forget activities, toys, outings, treats, presents etc are all reducing your income too.
