    It depends if you are in Dublin or another big city and if it is in your home or theirs,your qualifications and how many other kids you are looking after.

    Our creche fee will be €850 a month for a baby, 5 days a week. Thats in Dublin but its probably at the lower end of creche rates for Dublin but IMO its a fair rate. I'd suggest charging €850 for one and €400 for the second so €1250 per month.

    Are you going to charge for holidays etc too or just when you're minding them? Most childminders will charge for 50-52 weeks a year so they get paid for holidays and christmas as well.

    Its a good idea to agree these things upfront so there's no misunderstandings or fallings out later on.
