What do you think about offering daycare on the weekend only? Sat & Sun (maybe Fri too).
Can you charge more b/c its the weekend? Is there a need? Does anyone actually do this?

I can guarantee there is a need! But couldn't tell you what to charge. Look up weekend daycare for your area and see what happens!Quote:

I don't know if you would find people that would want to pay it, but its worth the try if you are committed to working the weekends too.
Ditto what Lori said! Weekends are for my family :wub:
Given that few other providers will do it, I can almost guarantee that there is a need. And I do believe that you could charge slightly more on a daily basis. But unless you are providing overnight or extended hour care, I don't think that you could double the regular rate or anything.
Are you still providing weekday care as well? If so, I caution you to think long and hard about working 7 days a week. Every good provider needs a rest!! :)
