Babysitting cost

Tella
By Tella

Dear all,

I am newly arrived in Doha and am discovering the city and the way of life here.
I employ a very nice lady from Philippines twice a week for house cleaning and she has accepted to babysit my daughter (18 months) on Thursday evening from 8 pm for a few hours.
Could you tell me how I much I should pay her per hour ? Of course, we will also take in charge her taxi drive home.

Thank you for your help !

it'll be great! And that would be fantastic. I would even recommend someone to you, a nurse in a British school. Your child will be very safe for sure.

That's also what I thought, 50 to 75 per hour is what I would pay in my home country.

50~75 PER hour? You must be rich?

Fair to both of you! Just continue to be kind to her so she'll transfer that kindness to your child. Good evening!

Thank you for your answers ! We already pay her for the house cleaning. My question concerns punctual babysitting. So 25 to 30 QR per hour for a babysitting evening is correct ?

Pay at least QR 200 for her.

25 to 30. You said you'll also cover the taxi fare.

4 times a month - 50-75 Riyals, dinner, and conveyance money would be good for each week.
