As some of you may know I'm almost finished with my handbook! I've got a few things here and there I will work on this week to tweek it up as I want to cover many things the first time around. I also have a general contract that I will follow with the basic rules, but that is for another post. Anyways, I was thinking that I was only going to take full time and my rates were going to be either $125 or $130 a week depending on our neighborhood. Our local child care resource and referral gave us papers that told us the average is $122-$126 in my city so that is where I came up with my rate of either $125 or $130 a week. I don't want to do different prices for difference ages because I don't want to take a pay cut down the road. I also am not offering sibling discounts.
Question 1.
Now that is out of the way, how would I go about charging for part time? Most people here have a 3 day minimum which is $25/day (equal to my $125/week) so they require $75/week for up to about 24 hours of care.
Question 2.
Can I charge $30 a day if it's part time and not require a minimum day or should I require at least two or three days a week commitment?
Question 3.
What if I get a family who works on the other end of town and requires my open-close hours? I'm trying to get at saying if someone was at my 50 hours that I'll be open that I would charge $150 a week instead of $125, but I don't want them to know they could pick up an hour early at $125 a week instead of the $150
Last Question 4.
What does your hourly rate break down to for normal contracted hours? For over time hours? Thank you so much!
