How much

BeenieCat

I don't think it's relevant that OP is a nursery nurse, as her job doesn't mean she will be a registered childcare provider.

How will this work when your nephew is older, i.e. will she be able to claim the vouchers to pay you as you are a Nursery Nurse (are you registered with Ofsted?)

I pay £32 a day 8-5 at a Day Nursery, my friend in the same town pays £3 an hour for a childminder so that works out at £27.

What hours does she want you to do?

This isn't a regular thing my sister is a freelance events manager so does maybe one or two jobs a year so i don't think ofsted would be an issue also her and her partner earn too much to get tax credit anyway.

I'd charge about £25, that way she's not taking advantage but nor are you. It's not much considering you'll take really good care of her son - you're trained and experienced, and you love him. Surely this is a win/win situation!

Hi

I can get my baby boy into fulltime nursery for £25.00 a day. So take tax off that I would say £20.00 a day from 8am-6pm as its prob cash in hand.

£20 a day mates rates as it's not a regular thing. I'd then take the kids out for the day with the money.

If you chose to set up properly then i'd suggest a more formal pay structure, but anyone referring to NMW etc must remember this isn't "on the books"

I think if you charge a professional rate, you risk her being more picky about things in a way she may not be if you are doing it more as a favour with pay iyswim?

Perhaps she won't of course, but generally speaking, when people are paying the going rate, they expect 'more' for their money.

I'm not saying you won't care for him properly of course. I hope you can see what I mean? I'm not doing well with words tonight! :undecided

£4 an hour - it's way below minimum wage, but that's what a childminder would charge her.

Childminders only charge £3-4 per hour because they times that by the amount of children they're looking after so potentially could be earning £20 per hour (I'm definitely in the wrong job :rotfl:)

However, to only ask for the for one child seems like a whole day of working for not a lot of money, hence (in my opinion) its only worth doing it legitimately for the whole package as ofsted grants funds for equipment/ toys/ stair gates etc....

So back to the original question, unless you have your own little one's/ toys at home and no income of your own anyway, I would say that's the only time its worth a little boost of the back pocket!!
