Looking For A Change In Career

Katherine Said:

How much can a childminder earn in a year (uk)?

We Answered:

I haven't been a childminder but I employed one when my daughter was small. I seem to remember that they start you off as a kind of probation with only one child and see how you do, and the hourly rate is quite low. Childminders don't qualify for the minimum wage, or they didn't back then (six years ago). (That might seem unfair, but most parents can't afford to pay someone the minimum wage out of their taxed income, with no tax breaks like companies get. I certainly couldn't, as a single mum!)

I would ask your local council, they will have all the relevant info including pay rates, what modifications you will have to make to your home, and the initial training you will have to do. Good luck!
