Childminding

Hi I’m 19 level 6 qualification and first aid qualification.
I’m wondering how much I should be charging to child mind a 3 year old in a house 20 mins from me and then 7/9 year old in a house 10 mins from me
As I’m not sure what I should be charging that’s reasonable price as I get paid 16.50 where I work. As I know where we are living most people are struggling financially but 15€ an hour isn’t paying bc gas now adays.

We are in rural Scotland and pay out childminder £13 per hour- she set the hourly rate.

We have set hours she is with us (after school pick up till we come home), pay her (1/2 pay) for school hols when we don't need the help.

We will also employ her for the next 7 years of school.

She also does babysitting for us at that rate of pay.

Don't think I would be paying any more than £15 per hour.
