Salary for live OUT Nanny in The Netherlands?

Hi, I have an interview on Monday for a full time position, M-F 9am to 6-6:30 pm Their son is 2 months old. I have no idea what to ask for salary wise. I do have experience with children, have been an nanny before and I have CPR and First Aid certifications. Any suggestions? I would take public transport to their house daily, and I'm sure some light housework would be involved. Thanks!

1. From my experience (two young children) and when I was working, salaries for childminders vary dramatically depending on if it is official (registered with an agency and tax deductable) or cash-in-hand (no social rights).

For a legal childminder, my last childminder (last year) charged €5 per hour for set, regular hours every day/week. For flexible & variable hours it was €10 per hour. From my experience, the salaries vary between this mark.

Get the family to give you their expectations first and if they ask you first, I would turn the question around and ask their expectations to see if it is in line with yours (more bargaining power this way)
