Cfred, nope nothing wrong with that!! If you can charge higher and have clients that are willing and can afford to pay that, then great!!

I don't live somewhere where that is possible but if I did, I would charge higher like you. I agree that quality care is the most important thing that all of us dcp's should be focused on. Fortunately, we own our home already so we are able to "get by" on our wages and still have money for extra's. I do however have a budget(altho, we haven't been following it lately lol) and coupon to make the most out of what we have.

I have a few friends who have done hdc's and have had to close up because they just weren't making enough money and they had to work out of the home again. They couldn't raise their fee any higher or they wouldn't have any clients. I hope that I don't have to do this but it's always on the back of my mind......especially when I have a spot to fill and no takers!!
