I childmind, & I employ 2 other childminders.
They are great, really fab - flexible and supportive
They have suggested that I go away in April (& I've booked Disney) - but have suggested that they want more than their normal acting up rate - which seems reasonable
I normally pay £5.30 and up it to £6 phr when DH or I are out (as they are in sole charge)
So what would be reasonable as an additional rate (and should it be on top of the ordinary rate or a higher rate)
My Dad suggested a flat rate
(BTW I am already losing about £120 just employing them the extra hrs that I normally work....but I really want this holiday)
