    Will depend greatly on where you live. Generally most will let you know how much they charge, so you won't need to worry about offering too little!!

    What part of the country are you in, and how old is your child/children?

    your kids going to a childminders house or a nanny coming in to your house?
    Dublin or outside Dublin?
    Just asking as there is a huge difference in price.

    A nanny is the most expensive option,when I looked in to it it was about 450 a week but the nanny agencies can give you a more accurate price.
    A childminder in your home is the next one as you are employing them in your home minimum wage and prsi apply.
    If you child goes to a childminders home then you don't have to worry about min wage or prsi and the going rate in Dublin seems to be 40-50 euro for a full day from an experienced childminder.
