re... : cant figure if im insulted or not. 19/03/2014 13:14 - How Much Should I Charge or Pay ----------------------------------- that happened once.never before did anyone ask questions like that.nearly all parents i have dealt with have been really nice.
re... : cant figure if im insulted or not. 19/03/2014 17:54 - How Much Should I Charge or Pay ----------------------------------- i would be more insulted if i was asked how to change a nappy.or making up bottles.but then again to offer 2.50 8 hours a day thats 20 euro.but some new parents are nervous leaving a baby with someone else.
re... : cant figure if im insulted or not. 20/03/2014 10:57 - How Much Should I Charge or Pay ----------------------------------- i once had a mother change her little girls nappy and it was wrong way so i understand why a parent might ask that. its the of rate they want to pay.
re : cant figure if im insulted or not. 21/03/2014 12:48 - How Much Should I Charge or Pay ----------------------------------- My mil has four kids and still can´t change a nappy right....even still, that´s not a great question, but it wouldn´t insult me. The rate of pay however is a massive insult.
re : cant figure if im insulted or not. 19/03/2014 13:18 - How Much Should I Charge or Pay ----------------------------------- that is just ridiculus, would they mind a child for that price! Having your own kids and asking those questions you are better of without them. Some people have no respect.
re : cant figure if im insulted or not. 19/03/2014 16:34 - How Much Should I Charge or Pay ----------------------------------- Personally I have discussed rate of pay before I let any parent arrange a meetup......happened once and was shocked at rate of pay offered...equally parent was shocked at what rate I was quoting.....I have no problem with fussy demands etc aslong as they willing to pay.....
re : cant figure if im insulted or not. 20/03/2014 13:38 - How Much Should I Charge or Pay ----------------------------------- maybe just as well u didn´t take that job. They sound a nightmare! If you have reared your own 5 children you have plenty of experience over the years. Hopefully u will get a family that appreciate you.
re : cant figure if im insulted or not. 19/03/2014 13:18 - How Much Should I Charge or Pay ----------------------------------- good luck to them your better off well away from that family. chancers looking for cheap child care. best wishes to you, whats ment for you wont pass you .
re : cant figure if im insulted or not. 19/03/2014 12:45 - How Much Should I Charge or Pay ----------------------------------- that´s an absolute insult to you. I really don´t know why parents think that they can pay so little for such an important job.
re : cant figure if im insulted or not. 19/03/2014 18:22 - How Much Should I Charge or Pay ----------------------------------- It sounds as if they were just looking for any excuse to pay pennies. Enough said. A lucky escape for you because if you had taken the position I think you would be inundated with crazy crazy demands.
re... : cant figure if im insulted or not. 20/03/2014 11:31 - How Much Should I Charge or Pay ----------------------------------- to ask someone who has 4 or 5 kids can you change a nappy.or do you know how to make bottles is a bit much. and to say a qualified person with experience can do these things.a mother has just as much experience with her own qualifications or not.
cant figure if im insulted or not. 19/03/2014 12:14 - How Much Should I Charge or Pay ----------------------------------- i met up with a couple last week .about minding a 1 yr old 3 days a week.they called to the house.we were chatting away things were grand.i told them i had the relevant first aid.i was told i was not a qualified minder with experience.i explained that i was a mother of 5 the oldest is 27.i have had 27 years experience with my own.and around 12 yrs with others.i was asked ridiculous questions such as can i change a nappy.how to make bottles.how to puree food.i was told an experienced minder does these things.i was offered the job but on the basis that i accept 2.50 euro an hour.i told them there and then that i wouldent do it for 2.50.if parents are looking for a real life mary poppins.im not her and i would never claim to be a mary poppins.but i am good at what i do.parents should sit down with a prospective minder.have a cup of tea/coffee.and a good chat most parents i have dealt with have been lovely.
