What the work looks like in Richmond
Richmond families are often young professional households in converted warehouse apartments, needing casual evening care or regular weekday sessions around work schedules. There is also a steady stream of after-school care requests given the suburb's proximity to schools in neighbouring Hawthorn and South Yarra.
What carers earn in Richmond
A Certificate III qualified educator earns from $40 per hour for one child in Richmond, rising by $20 per hour for each additional child in care -- $60/hr for two, $80/hr for three, $100/hr for four.
