Childminding 07/01/2015 12:22 - Ask Mother Hen (Locality: Clare) ----------------------------------- Hello there
Just wondering if anyone would have an idea of what to pay a childminder who will be working in her own home 8-5 Monday to Friday. She doesn´t mind any other kids but has two herself that attend primary . I have no clue as this is my first child and I will be returning to work soon (still on maternity leave ). She will be 6 months old by the time I go back .. The trouble is the woman is a really really good friend of mine and we visit each other´s houses quite regularly. She is the one who asked me if she could mind her a few months back .. I´m delighted as I know my little girl will be well looked after it´s just I don´t want to offer her money that´s inadequate I just want to give her whatever everyone else would get in this situation. I work school hours so I would not need her during school holidays which is great as her kids will be off then to keep her occupied ! Please any help would be greatly appreciated
Have a nice day

Ya your right will discuss everything in the next week or so not back to school for 7 more weeks. She has all the childcare qualifications and is a qualified SNA too so I´m more than happy with her knowledge regarding first aid etc . Thanks again you´ve made some very good valid points 😄
