One Day a Week - What Would You Charge?

[DaisyMamma]

I have agreed to care for a 14 month old one day a week. What would you charge? Should I charge what I charge full timers per day? Thank you.

I would charge more.
For example if your weekly rate is $200 then I would charge $50. Also make sure they know that if a fulltime child comes along that they could lose their spot.

They could be really hard to deal with for one day, or a total jem. I say give it a try. Let them know that it may not work, that sometimes this age can't handle only one day per week.

I charge $45/day for 4-5 days/wk so 2-3 days a week is $50/day and I charge $55/day for 1 day a week. If it's drop-in only I charge $10/hr or $60/day.
