Well I've been babysitting since I was 13, and I babysit for 5 different families. The family I babysit for now has a disabled child, which is why I charge €10 an hour, it's a lot of responsibility. But I have years of experience with disabled and babysitting in general. As long as you are great with kids it doesnt matter how much experience you have, if you have babysat before and you do a great job, you should get the proper payment.
For overnight stays, it depends what time I start, and how long they would expect me to stay the next day. If it's just a case that they will be home late, and I'm too tired to wait up for them, and I can leave whenever the next morning, I'll just charge them up until the time they came home at.
If they want me to stay on and get the kids up/dressed breakfast etc., I'll just add on what I think is appropriate. If I've had nothing much to do, e.g. just watched tv while the kids were asleep, and didn't have to do much the next day, I will just charge up as far as when the parents got home. If I had to put kids to bed, get them up dressed etc., I'll charge up to midnight and again from when the kids wake up.
Thanks so much guys, I really appreciate your help.Muffin I would charge €10 per hour but saying that I am qualified, experienced and garda vetted, in addition to being a mammy myself. I personally wouldn't charge that rate to family, not as a one off thing anyway. Saying that 3 kids if those ages will keep you busy for the day and yo would want to have a fair idea of their routines etc.
What would you recommend charging for family? The boys are very active, I will have to feed them, wash them, entertain them, then put them to bed.
They don't have a set time for going to bed, but are usually asleep by 9-10pm.
There's also a chance I might have to watch another cousin on the same day, who is 2.5yrs, not 100 sure on that yet though, I forgot to mention this in my previous posts, apologies.
The 2.5yo's mum will come home and put him to bed at 6pm (he sleeps from 6pm to 6am) and she will most likely have him fed by the then (he gets his dinner around 4-5pm I think), so he won't be any work really. 0 -

Hope all is alright Links x
Pixie-Fairy, the main thing I miss about when I lived at home was that free house feeling! The day my parents would leave I'd normally organise a session, gave me a few days to get tidied up after
It's not as much fun trashing my own house.
Pixiebean that looks amazing!!!
Things I wish I could unlearn how to make today: 5 minute mug cake.

mum was having goes at me earlier, brought me to tears in the middle of a shop
we went out yesterday and left the top window open in the upstairs room and forgot about it, so it got soaked with rain, and now there's a horrible damp smell. been trying to dry the damp patch in the carpet with a hairdryer but it was taking ages, so I gave up. been sniffling and sneezing all day today now, and I think it might be related to the window being open. anyone have a good idea of how to deal with the damp?
otherwise, I'm just feeling totally drained, no motivation to do anything, got loads of stuff to do but can't be arsed, just... today ****ing sucks.0 -

Me too, but that's why the vid is funny. He's a horrible, horrible actor.
Kick Ass was about the only thing I liked him in, but I think it only worked because they needed a really cheeseball actor for that role. I heard they actually wanted him to play Neo in the Matrix at one point, and he turned down the role. say what you want about Keanu, he's not that awful.
oh I found the vid of the death goat :pac:
