    Hi guys, Im a new mother and new to boards so not sure if im posting in the right place. Just wondering if anyone could guide me on the cost of childminding. i am living in cork and looking for a childminder for 4 days per week from 8 - 5.30pm for a 10month old.

    Also wondering how to go about finding a childminder, dont know anyone in the area and no luck on local notice boards. The few names iv managed to get already have kids and cant take any more.

    Thanks

    The local childcare committee and the HSE will have a list of registered childminders in your locality.

    We're paying 30 euro per day. We found the childminder from the Local Childcare Committee list - not in Cork so can't help with specifics though. The smaller childminders only have to voluntarily register with them but I thought that was a good sign because they were willing to have someone from the committee visit them etc.
    Once you get the list just call and see who has vacancies and take it from there.
