by talking with his dad he seems to ingnore the fact that his son my have challenging issues he always avoids any comments about his behaviour and he always responds he doesn't do it at home so I just don't know at this point, my fees for him is just a regular fee but if he is challenge need the fee should be different

The child most likely does do this at home so don't let dear old dad off the hook too fast - keep advising parents of incidents that occur incase it gets to the point you don't want to handle it anymore. I don't raise fees for kids that are challenging. But if you're only charging $30 a day I don't think that's enough no matter where you're located. Lowest should be in around $35 for over an 8 hr day. Raise your rates for September!

You can't make that call cross country. Around here, average rate is $30 including a cooked lunch, two snacks and milk for 12 hour day. I am top end at $35 with less hours but that based on rep and 20+ years in. There are plenty providers doing it for $25 in this area.
