I’m in a bit of a predicament in knowing how much to pay a mum friend for childcare. We tried nursery but it didn’t work and I’m really happy with LO being there as she is with friends 2 DCs of a similar age.
problem is she won’t be direct with pay - one min she says she doesn’t want paying (obviously I wouldn’t ever do that), then it feels like whatever I offer is a bit off - other childminders in the area are around £6.50 which seems low. But I want to have an hourly pay which isn’t insulting. What would you offer? It’s one half day a week at the moment
