Hi I would like to know how much should I charge to mind two children from one family from 8 to 4.45pm 5 days a week term time only. I would also like to know what agreement others have when minding teachers children regarding holiday payment. I am notified and fully qualified with first aid. I want to be fair to the family and still earn a decent wage. I am in the west.

30 is low to me also for your hours n id dont offer any food but then u getting holiday pay....I def wouldnt do it for 250 so see can you meet in middle with parent of the 325....most parents assume half rate for siblings which is why I asked rate...150 n 75 is 225 which is where parent might be...

Yes hard to get the balance right. Are your children older. My two are under 7. I do find it is easy to get burnt out as you are constantly on the go. I have to do school runs so im constantly loading kids in and out of the car for the runs which can get tiring. The great thing is I feel, is that it is nice to be there for your own kids when come home from school or on hols. As im term time I find the summer long without a wage but I do save for this during the yr , so have to take that into account what to charge for the weeks I have the children. it is hard to make it work .

Do you want to say what your charging for the single child at mo so could help with pricing..some mentioned 325 but that would seem high for me..I have n am cm teachers kids cos I love having hols off as own kids so I dont charge for sch hols..however other cm n higher authority tell me im daft...

Hi thanks for your replies . I have one child already from this family and we have an agreement that I have the child term time, half pay for Halloween mid term Christmas and Easter and I take the child one day during the summer only. So not sure what to charge.

I mind teachers children. For those hours you should get about 325 per week. Regarding holidays etc....this is down to local agreement with the parent. As a guideline, I ask to be paid for Easter/xmas, and mid term. Also if child does not turn up for whatever reason, I still need to be paid. I dont get paid for taking time off, and I dont ask for Bank holidays(as I am unavailable). As I say , you need to agree this with parent, but I think its a fair deal, as you wont be paid during summer time, so need to compensate for that. Hope that helps
