SO from the beginning I told the wife of the couple that I babysit for that I was thinking about becoming a daycare in which my rates would change. I have never full-time watched any kids other than my own so really didnt know how much hard work it would be I get 20 a day for an 20 month old and after school, total 10 hous a day.. I told them my new rates 100 for full-time 75 for part, 15 dollar discount for siblings (160). They called a bunch of daycares and told me that people around here don't charge that much. Well I did my own investigation and I haven't found one daycare out of the five that charge less than me. Plus they were telling me that a day care an hour away from here did a flat rate of 2 dollar an hour, well good for them!! I gave them a month notice (March 1st) That my rates would be changing. Today I am going to give them a handbook and tell them they can bring it back on April 1st if they choice to stay with me. To be honest even if I wasn't starting a full-time daycare I couldn't do it for two dollars an hour anyway. But on both sides mine and the parents we have been very respectful of each other so thats a good point!!
Anyone charge higher rates and have people leave?
