I'm getting together my contract here and wondering how to list my rates. I ONLY want to do drop-in care because of my hubby's crazy schedule I want to be able to simply be closed if he has a day off.
I know those of you usually provide a discount/incentive for parents to sign up for full time care because then you're slots are full. But that wouldn't be beneficial for me. Also I'm willing to provide day, evening, and weekend care. I think I also want my rates to discourage someone from using me for part time care....in the future if my drop-ins become to sparse I might change this though!
Around here the average pay is $8 and hour and $35 for a day. So based on those what do you guys think would be fair to charge. I was thinking an hourly rate, half day rate, full day rate. Then an "evening" full day like 5-10pm. And then a weekend day/weekend night rate. I think it would be fair to charge more for evening care and weekend care since it's hard to come by.
