Hi,

Hebs asked me if i could look after 3 children in their own home 2 night's a week. She will be doing friday and saturday's.

How would we go about it? Would it be classed as childminding and needing normal contract's? Or would it be babysitting? Im guessing babysitting but dont know about contracts or how insurance will work as such.
Also for the 2 night's i will have the children they would be getting dropped off at my home at 5 as my mindee's don't leave till half 5 sometimes 6.

Advice on charges would be great aswell.

Thank you all in advance.

If you are with NCMA and use their babysitting checklist your insurance covers you.

Not sure about the charges though, can't you ask Heather what she's charging?

I thought the ncma babysitting checklist would be needed.

And Heather asked me what i would charge as she will do the same. lol

£6 an hour is fair babysitting I think.
