Hi everyone!
I currently have 4 children (2 are my own) in my daycare full time (8am-5pm, five times a week). My own daughter will be starting JK this fall and will be attending school from 9:10am until 11:40pm (leaving the house in the morning for her bus at 8:40am - but my hubby does drop off :) and returning to our home around noon (I will be picking her up at the corner of our street along with the other 3 kiddos).
A mom on my street came to me the other day and asked if I would watch her 2 yr old girl from 9 until 11:30am , five days a week. I am thinking that this might be a perfect way to make a little extra money. She is looking for care starting in October 2011 and going until May 2012 at which point she will then be enrolled in a three year old preschool program full time.
I never wanted to have more than 4 children in my care at one time and this would work out perfectly as the little girl would be picked up before I had to leave to get my own daughter.
Seeing as though it is only for 2.5 hours I am not sure what to charge. I am thinking about $25 as that will include a morning snack at 9am and lunch at 11am.
The main reason that this mother wants her child to come to my daycare is so that she can improve her English skills. The grandmother speaks only Korean to her at home and the mom and dad speak English and Korean with her.
I am wondering if $25 is a fair price to charge or if I should just skip it all together??
thoughts please !!!
