    I'd do it for a HEFTY fee. So hefty it'd discourage them from wanting to use me haha.

      Definitely charge a little extra. How much depends on what you feel would be fair for the extra work you are doing. They will be long days, but you already know that.
      Children are little angels, even when they are little devils.
      They are also our future.

        Wow

        4:30am that is crazy early, no way I would do it as it would make me way to grouchy. I would have to get up at like 3:30/4am to be ready blah! I need my sleep and so does the kiddo she needs to find someone that is willing to come to her house for the morning until daycare or maybe a family members house he can stay at on those days so he can get his sleep and they can drop him off at daycares regular opening time.

          I must be the crazy one here- I am up at 4:30 a lot of mornings. It would depend on if the child would go back to sleep without issues. But, I would probably do it. I would charge an extra $20 a week. My first kidlet is here at 6:15 an if the weather is bad 6:00.
          It is only one day a week and for a limited time.

            If the family is military, yes. If any other reason, unless emergency? NOT A CHANCE!!!!

              I don't even do 6 am. I can't imagine 4:30 am. I'm too tired to start at 6 and to go 5:30. Way too long of a day. I wouldn't do it.

                You don't want my hours then... I WORK 7-7 right now, but get up no later than 6am. The 12 hr family pays dearly for the extra time

                  God bless you. I couldn't do it. I am changing my hours from 630 to 730. Most of my kids come at 800 or after. I would die if I did 4:30. It is ultimately up to you. If you get compensated and that is enough for you, then go for it! I don't even think $100 would do it for me. I am NOT a morning person.

                    Yeah I'm guess if they are paying good I might consider it. Right now I am 8 am to 5:00 or 5:30. I found when I did earlier it was parents going for coffee, breakfast and the hours were just getting longer and longer.
