Thanks every one, I actually already have a first aid cert and a full drivers licence and used to be a tutor so can help out with homework. I guess I'll advertise $6 and go from there. I live within walking distance to 2 schools but could drive.

Plans are on hold for a few weeks tho cos this idiot I know (Ben) lost his licence and had a falling out with the guy who was taking him to work so know I have to to ]]> Tue, 12 Feb 2008 21:46:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14385&PID=300888&title=how-much-to-charge#300888 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14385&PID=299927&title=how-much-to-charge#299927 Author: linda

That is a great idea. Harry is starting school this year and I am in the process of sorting my hours out so I can finish most days by 2.30pm to get Harry so he doesn't have after school care. I don't know if this will work so I then started to think about a 'nanny' or something similar where they would collect Harry from School, get Alex from creche and then look after them till say 4.30pm.

I think it depends on the person and whats needed, how many days etc but $5 sounds to cheap (but I'm in the city). Maybe $8 per hour and include afternoon tea? Plus what school they go to, where you are etc etc.]]> Mon, 11 Feb 2008 23:13:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14385&PID=299927&title=how-much-to-charge#299927 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14385&PID=299723&title=how-much-to-charge#299723 Author: Bubbaloo

Good idea Rach good luck I hope it goes well for you i think around the $6-7 mark is pretty reasonably.]]> Mon, 11 Feb 2008 20:13:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14385&PID=299723&title=how-much-to-charge#299723 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14385&PID=299693&title=how-much-to-charge#299693 Author: MissCandice

Good on you! I think $6/7 is ok, I would def prefer a mum to a teenager!]]> Mon, 11 Feb 2008 17:13:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14385&PID=299541&title=how-much-to-charge#299541 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14385&PID=299408&title=how-much-to-charge#299408 Author: EthansMummy

Around my little town for babysitters it is generally $5 p/h.

I agree with the being a mum but and also getting your first aid cert - people will feel much better with a mum than a teenager!!]]> Mon, 11 Feb 2008 14:33:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14385&PID=299408&title=how-much-to-charge#299408 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14385&PID=299407&title=how-much-to-charge#299407 Author: babystuff

hi ya,
I think $6 is really reasonable, you can pay up to $7 for care so you would be right in the middle.

Good Luck!]]> Mon, 11 Feb 2008 14:32:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14385&PID=299407&title=how-much-to-charge#299407 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14385&PID=299405&title=how-much-to-charge#299405 Author: nikkitheknitter

Check out Student Job Search and see what people are hiring their carers for?

I wouldn't price under. There is enough demand for it that you can afford to. ESPECIALLY as you are a Mum.

I would get a first aid cert as that is the first thing people ask.

Do you drive? That is also helpful and therefore worth paying for.]]> Mon, 11 Feb 2008 14:29:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14385&PID=299405&title=how-much-to-charge#299405 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14385&PID=299181&title=how-much-to-charge#299181 Author: jack_&_charli

if it was me, i'd charge just under what other places do...might be enough to make people choose you over other places

good luck rach, sounds like a great idea ]]> Mon, 11 Feb 2008 11:28:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14385&PID=299181&title=how-much-to-charge#299181 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14385&PID=299138&title=how-much-to-charge#299138 Author: Rachael21

I'm going to put a few ads up to look after kids before and after school. How much do you think I should charge? Porse said most people charge around $6 an hour for preschool kids so should I charge around the same?

Thanks ]]> Mon, 11 Feb 2008 10:34:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14385&PID=299138&title=how-much-to-charge#299138
