Not too sure what to call this... But one of the girls at our church is studying her Cert III in childcare (or whatever it is) and is looking for as much baby sitting/child care work as possible.

I'm back to work soon and the idea of having someone look after my kids in my home for the day is very appealing and takes the worry out of finding child care etc.

So how much do you guys think we should offer per hour?

How does it work with the child care rebate? Would we still be eligible, or more to the point, what would we need to do to be eligible? Might need to post that question in the centerline section...

What else do we need to consider? We're going to ask her round to show her our house and have a good chat about how it would work. She already has a working with children check but I'm not sure about first aid. I'll ask that, and also what she would do in case of emergencies.

What else??
