I have a client who really wants to join my daycare. She's been refered by a current client who talks very highly of me. She doesn't need care until November and I'll have space in September. That's 11 weeks that I would be holding the space for her. She's also 11 hour days once she does start (1 year old)

What would you charge her to hold the space?

I normally wouldn't hold at all, but it's my favorite family that referred her and I'm hoping she's a duplicate. They are very good friends.

What are you're holding fees and what do you charge for 11 hours? Or what is your extra charge for over your normal hours. I charge one rate for 10 hours or less. An additional 5.00 per hour after that, but it doesn't seem like enough.
