Am I Crazy? What Rate would you Charge?

[Suzie_Homemaker]

My rate $38 and I charge daily rate plus $100 for overnight. It not happen often and I only do for one family no more than once month when Dad away and Mom on night shift.

So if she come on Monday and stay Monday night and then here in daycare on Tuesday before Dad come get her, it $176 but they would be pay the $76 anyway.

Do you already care for this child?

I would be extremely hesitant about accepting a new child into care right at the start of nap time each day. Unless the child is already used to you, your house and your nap routine I can't help but expect they will completely mess up everyone's nap. I would think it is hard for a new child to walk into a home and go straight to bed. Are you prepared to work not only a full daycare day, but then work evenings and every second weekend...with the possibility that your group as a whole won't be napping for a few weeks until they all get used to it?
