Hi there,
Does anyone here wrk as an in-home educator? I am thinking about doing it and would like to know more about it - like how much do you get paid? What kind of set up you need at home etc? (with regards to childproofing, sleeping areas et ) I have a 4 month old so not sure what it will be like. Thanks  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I'm a home-based educator, I go through Amanda's. They're amazing and provide everything for free (carseats, highchairs, cot, double buggy, unlimited art supplies etc). If you're in Auckland I really recommend going through them.
I charge $6 an hour, and Amanda's give me an extra $1 per child per hour, so I get $7 an hour. You can set your own rate through them. I collect/invoice the payments from the parents myself, and Amanda's gives me the top-up payments and the childcare subsidies. We have playgroup every 2 weeks and various trips/outings. Set-up: - a cot with wrapped mattress and a couple of changes of bottom sheets, blankets etc - highchair - age appropriate toys and books (library/toy library are great) - fully fenced backyard - double buggy (depending on age of kids) - a room to sleep in.. we have a wooden portacot permanently set up in our master bedroom. Once Miss 20 months is in a bed, she'll sleep on the cot mattress either on the floor or on the bed. - childproofing... safety things - medicine/cleaners up high or in locked cupboard (beware of dishwasher powder), knives away, smoke alarms etc. Hope that helps, happy to answer any other questions! What age of children are you thinking about looking after, and how many? Do you have any experience in childcare/teaching? |
