Tips on setting up your hourly rate: Please note that this guide serves solely as a reference, as you are free to set up your own rates. The rate you can choose depends on several factors, the city or region being the main one. For Valencia, Spain the average hourly rate for a babysitter and a housekeeper is 10 €. For babysitters, this price can be adapted based on the following factors: - The number of children is a factor in the cost of your babysitting and nona gives you the option to set up independently a rate for more than 2 children. - The children age: The younger the child, the more attention they need. So if you are willing to exclusively take care of a specific age range, your rate should be higher (which should also be strongly linked to experience). - Your experience: The number of years and qualifications (for ex. a diploma in childcare) will lead you to set up a higher rate. - Overnight rate: nona gives you a chance to set up an overnight rate.

1.Tips for Customers about cleaning jobsTo prepare for a Cleaning job that is sure to be successful, there are a few things you can do. Here are some helpful hints and advice! Prior to the job taking place, it's a good idea to communicate directly in the chat thread with your Provider to ensure that both of you are on the same page. Planning your Cleaning project with your Provider can be made easier with these guidelines: Your preferred time frame for the job. What is your preferred time period for this job? Would you like them to stop after a certain period of time or are your timings flexible? Are there a few rooms to clean or does the whole house need to be cleaned? Which areas should be prioritised? By sending photos of these areas, your Provider will be able to estimate how long the job may take. Make sure your Provider is aware of the type of flooring in your home. Are the floors carpeted, hardwood, or vinyl? Can they use your vacuum or do they have to provide one? Does the Provider have access to your cleaning supplies? Not all Providers have cleaning tools and products at their disposal. The job's chat thread is the best place to discuss this ahead of time, especially if allergies, pets, or special surfaces will prevent them from using certain products. If possible, double-check the final details with the Provider and provide them with pertinent information including the apartment number (if relevant) and any parking information.
