    Whats a fare price to pay?

    I'm looking for someone to take my DH to & from school this Sept, what do I charge? She will be going every other day so roughly 10 days a month. Full time daycare rates run $32-$38 a day in my area. Before and after school care runs $12.99-$15.00 but what to charge for just drop off and pick up?

    Help!

    If it's just an older child ( gr 7 or 8) then I would offer 25$ or 30$ a week especially if they are going in that direction anyway ... Thats a nice little bit of spending money for a 12-13 yr old

    Oops I just reread your post and realize it's every other day .... So offer 5-7 $/day that she goes.....it probably only a 5-10 min walk

    I know huh?? It's only an occasional thing right now, but wouldn't that be great for her if it became an every day thing?

    I would charge the same as before and after school. It's a lot of work to pack up the rest of your daycare to drop children off.
