Hello Everyone, i hope you are all well! It's been a long time since i was on here. I left the home daycare scene in 2015 when i got a job outside of the home. My 1 yr contract turned into 2 yrs and now entering my 3rd year! I placed my own children in AM care and I am home in time to get them from school in the afternoon. It works out well for us.

A family I know well from my kids' school has had a change at work for both parents. Now they really only need care after school for 2 days a week, and no care in the morning as they are dropped off to school. Full Time Before and after school program is no longer necessary and They have asked me if I would consider watching the kids for their 2 kids (4 and 6). We are meeting for coffee at my house Saturday morning to discuss.

Questions:
-What should I charge? No one in my area is doing only before and after care, so i have nothing to compare to. It could be 2- 2.5 hours.
-what about receipts? I closed my business so how do I do this? I probably still have to provide receipts, right? How will that work with deductions/accounting?

Any insight is appreciated. Feel free to tell me if you would do it or not.
