To ask what you would pay for this?

[SequinsAndGlitter]

Needing someone to come to the house at 7.30AM, look after a 7 year old and walk 7 year old to school for 8.45AM.
£5 too low, £10 too high?

I would pay £15 per hr if I was entrusting sole custody of my child to someone.

But would need to walk back to the house if say her car was parked there or she lived on that street/nearby.... so needs to get back to start doesn't she/he?

The person may not need to return to your house but they still need to get back to theirs . I would say £20 per day .

I’d say a minimum of £10 per hour.

So 7.30am - 8.45 would be £12.50

£15-£20. There would be no point in someone doing it for less than that.

£20 a day. The hours are very inconvenient.

Person doing it is an adult, qualified ,with full dbs. Would not need to return to the house as child is at school.
School is 20 minutes walk away.
So you realise £10 would be below minimum wage?

What world do you live in to think that £10 is too much for this??

Where do they live in relation to your house? You say they wouldn’t have to return to your house after drop off but if they have parked their car there in the morning or if the walk home from school is significantly longer than the walk home from your house you ought to include it. I think I would at least assume the job to be 7:30 - 9 as you never know what might happen to delay drop off by 5 minutes or so. Paying 1.5 hours at minimum wage (£8.72) would be £13.08 but if the person is qualified and as they’re unsociable hours and presumably term-time only I would pay £15 a day.

Wow. You expect to pay £2.50 per hour??? Give your head a wobble. £20 minimum.

£15-20
They'll presumably need to walk the 20 mins back from whence they came? £5 is insulting, tbh

It's over an hour's work, plus they have the time taken to get to and from their home. Are they self employed? If they are they will have a rate.

I'd do it for £20 (but I have no qualifications or childcare experience).

I'd be asking for £20.

£20 - £25 a day. I have no childcare experience but it wouldn't be worth it for £10 unless it was for family etc?

Depends where you are and who is doing it.
I would say £15 minimum as it practically 1.5 hours.

Are you having a fucking laugh?
That's not even minimum wage. This is a person with DBS who you want to be responsible for your child.

£15-20 per morning sounds more like it.
A fucking fiver!!?
I sincerely hope that whoever they are can set some good boundaries cos you'll take the right piss if you can.

Seriously OP, how could you even consider £5???

They still need to walk there and back. £5 is absurd, so is £10, I think £20 is reasonable.

£20.

Can't believe you are actually questioning if £10 is too much

It's 1hr 15mins work, at what is an inconvenient time for lots of people.

And depending on how close you lived to me I'd be taking my travel time into account too. You'd have to make it worthwhile.

I think you'll end up having to pay at least £15, I personally wouldn't do it for less than £20.

honestly I've never been so shocked by someone's tightarsed-ness in my life.

A fiver!

Fucking hell.

£15/20. It’s crappy hours-I wouldn’t want to do it.

£15

£25+!
