    After hours care... need answer quick!

    Hello, I have just set up an interview with someone today last minute, they need care 2 days a week from 3-10pm and other days regular hrs. my regular hours are 7-6 however I am having a hard time filling a spot and am willing to consider taking this client despite being outside business hours, my only question is how much would you charge? for under 2 (which child is) I am charging $40 a day, I was thinking $50 for this one does this sound fair? I would appreciate some advice, I have the interview in 2hrs!

    UPDATE
    I told them on the phone I wasn't sure if I would be able to do it and would have to speak with my husband before hand (you know, because I am not sure if he is going to be ok with an extra baby around the house when it's also his time off) anyhow they were able to come up a solution to their schedule and made 7pm the latest, however in my contract my close time is 5:30, they said drop off would be the earliest 2pm and latest 3pm. I don't really like those hours because from 1:30 to 3:30 is nap time and that is essentially my break and when I am able to do some stuff around the house, get dinner started, clean up from the morning, etc... however I really am quite in need of the money at the moment...

    How much would you charge for such little hrs and late pick up? they asked if I do hourly rate, I did do it in the past but didn't like it and dodn't want to do it again

    UPDATE 2
    I am thinking $25 flat rate for 4hrs or less, and an additional $5 for every half hr after 6pm. that way it can be a little worth my while.... even if they left baby from 2pm the earliest time to 7pm the latest time they would still at most pay $35...

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
