Hi, can anyone tell me how the payment scheme works with porse? Do i pay them a fee to use one of their carers and then pay the carer?

I agree... but $12 dollars an hour who could afford
480.00 dollars a week for 40 hours childcare.
for one child.

but 7.50an hour sounds better

in home childcare is better for one on one attention and under 2's. ]]> Fri, 23 Oct 2009 18:45:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29479&PID=815613&title=in-home-child-care-costs#815613 <![CDATA[In Home Child Care costs? : first - when I found out how little...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29479&PID=815611&title=in-home-child-care-costs#815611 Author: blondy

first - when I found out how little I would be paying for Natalie's care ($6ph), I was almost horrified that it was so low! However her carer looks after another couple of children also, so in the end she's being paid a more reasonable hourly rate! My carer isn't qualified 'on paper' but I know she is doing an excellent job, and my daughter loves the time she spends there. And at the end of the day happy baby = happy mummy.

It is such a hard job, and I know I couldn't do what our carer (and you other hard-working Mummies) do.]]> Fri, 23 Oct 2009 18:43:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29479&PID=815611&title=in-home-child-care-costs#815611 <![CDATA[In Home Child Care costs? : I do realise it is a big chunk...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29479&PID=815571&title=in-home-child-care-costs#815571 Author: first

I do realise it is a big chunk for families to pay and I totally understand about going back to work and affording childcare as I didn't go back to work because my income wouldn't have covered my childcare. I am so glad I decided to go with PORSe as I love looking after the extra kids and it works well for my family.
It is a tough situation that is for sure.]]> Fri, 23 Oct 2009 17:25:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29479&PID=815571&title=in-home-child-care-costs#815571 <![CDATA[In Home Child Care costs? : First: I&#039;m SO with you on...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29479&PID=815346&title=in-home-child-care-costs#815346 Author: Twinboys2b

First: I'm SO with you on your comment. It's such an important job & uses up so much energy that a measly $6/hr doesn't give it enough praise. It's hard enough mustering up enough energy for your own children let alone someone elses. I'm surprised it's legal to charge such a low amount esp. when looking at Hamilton at $4.50.

In saying that to get childcare for 2 under 2yrs old while working is expensive so the cost comes into it for me as I wouldn't be able to get back into work if it was too much higher.]]> Fri, 23 Oct 2009 13:05:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29479&PID=815346&title=in-home-child-care-costs#815346 <![CDATA[In Home Child Care costs? : Our carer is in the higher pay...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29479&PID=815337&title=in-home-child-care-costs#815337 Author: josephnia

Our carer is in the higher pay rate but she is a qualified nanny with years of experience and my son absolutely loves being in her care so the money is totally justified for us. And I find her a great resource for a lot of my parenting questions as well, and I know that we are on the same page when it comes to Blake's care so I have total peace of mind ]]> Fri, 23 Oct 2009 12:57:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29479&PID=815337&title=in-home-child-care-costs#815337 <![CDATA[In Home Child Care costs? : I am a PORSE educator who is trained...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29479&PID=815263&title=in-home-child-care-costs#815263 Author: first

I am a PORSE educator who is trained and I charge 7.50 an hour. To be honest I see it as cheap. Often I have only my son and another child with me which mean that each child gets alot of individual care.
As a PORSE educator you don't get paid sick leave or holiday pay or anything so I think that as parents its a good deal.
For those of you who have cleaners come into your house how much do you pay them an hour?? I would pay a lot more for my childs care.

Sorry if that sounds nasty I don't mean it to in any way.]]> Fri, 23 Oct 2009 11:51:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29479&PID=815263&title=in-home-child-care-costs#815263 <![CDATA[In Home Child Care costs? : Milo1 wrote:gee porse are expensive...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29479&PID=815251&title=in-home-child-care-costs#815251 Author: Twinboys2b

Yeh, the more expensive they are the more experience & qualifications they usually have. In saying that from my understanding is that it's the carer who decides on their pay. They said many $6/hr people have heaps of qualifications & experience too so it's just luck of the draw in some ways.]]> Fri, 23 Oct 2009 11:38:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29479&PID=815251&title=in-home-child-care-costs#815251 <![CDATA[In Home Child Care costs? : I pay $250 a week for porse and...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29479&PID=815099&title=in-home-child-care-costs#815099 Author: Raspberryjam

We pay $4.50 per hour and get a discount for having 2 kids in care, though obviously we are in Hamilton so probably cheaper than Auckland.

With Porse do you take them to the carers home or do they look after them in your home?

The daycare I am looking at charges a flat rate of $40 per day. I thought it seemed pretty expensive but that is for up to 11 hours. Even though I would only put my baby in for 6 or 7 hours Im not sure if it is any cheaper.

With Porse, the rate totally depends on your carer. We pay $6 per hour, but when we were looking for an in-home carer, I came across people charging anywhere from $5 to $8 per hour, and all of them are with porse. We pay extra for food too, but it's so great not having to make lunch etc in the mornings!]]> Wed, 21 Oct 2009 19:07:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29479&PID=813516&title=in-home-child-care-costs#813516 <![CDATA[In Home Child Care costs? : I was going to put DS3 into one...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29479&PID=813430&title=in-home-child-care-costs#813430 Author: jazzy

Hi we use barnadoes and they charge $5.75 per hour per child and we get a discount on top of that for having two with them, we only do 1 day per week so not sure if it is cheaper if you do more hours.

I don't mind telling you, I'm pretty sure barnadoes have the charges on their website :)

I'm not sure what our carer gets paid though, cos she only has my two on the day they go which means she wouldn't even be getting min wage and I'm not sure if that is legal etc.]]> Wed, 21 Oct 2009 09:15:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29479&PID=812896&title=in-home-child-care-costs#812896 <![CDATA[In Home Child Care costs? : Hi - does anyone use Porse (or...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29479&PID=812881&title=in-home-child-care-costs#812881 Author: MummyFreckle

Hi - does anyone use Porse (or similar) in home childcare for their little one(s)?

We are organising for Oli to go and spend one morning a week with a friend and her little one, but I want to pay her the "going rate". Is anyone willing to tell me what they pay? Sorry I know its a bit personal - but need to make sure I am not ripping her off!
