There's nothing really definite about an amount. You should go on the parenting forum and ask what others are charging/paying in similar circumstances

€8.65 an hour is the minimum wage for anyone over 18, this will probably be increased by 0.50 cent on the 1st. January 2016.

It is best to for everyone to keep tax affairs in order in these matters. Also talk to your insurance company regarding same.

For peace of mind double check with the local Revenue Office or Citizens Information.

Revenue will quote you chapter and verse on an issue such as this.

Your insurance company will tell you quite clearly what you need to be covered for!
