    Is it the same days every week?
    How many hours a day?

    Needing different days every week means you may need to pay more, as the childminder couldn't try and find other kids to mind the other days, with your schedule constantly changing.

    ok in your house you would expect to pay about 10-12 euro an hour and then employers prsi for your nanny as she is your employee.
    It might be on the higher side due to the non set hours.

    This is focused at childminders as opposed to Nannies but worth a read anyway - http://www.childminding.ie/parents/what-questions-to-ask/
