    Hi,

    Just looking for opinions on how much to expect to pay a childminder for two half days.

    Childminder will be collecting from Montessori (about a 2min walk from their house) at 12:30, and my child will be collected from there between 16:30/17:00. Childminder will be providing dinner.

    Cheers

    where are you based? can be a big difference between cities such as Dublin and rural; Is she minding other kids and maybe including her own. You are probably looking at about €6 per hour and extra for dinner. You need to ask her how much she expects too. Iron out all the details - like are you paying her until 5pm irrespective of whether you pick the child up at 5pm; will you still send you child to her during school holidays and if not do you pay her or do you have a term time agreement. Will she take him/her when sick etc.

    good luck with it

    Yeah we are outside of Dublin.

    It's a family friend, who has a child very close in age to mine. They will also be minding one other child on one of the days that my daughter is there.
