My hourly rate for one child is $2.50. I had planned it to be $4 for 2 kids from the same family.
I got a call from a guy looking for care for his 2 daughters, for 2 to 4 days a week. Drop off would be at 4 a.m. and pick up at 2 p.m. I normally only take children 7:30-5:30, but after talking to my husband, decided I would give this a try.
My payment options that I have thought of so far are...
A) Pay a flat rate of $150/wk, whether they are here 2, 3, or 4 days. That is a little less than $4/hr, but I thought I would cut him a break since that may only be for 2 days one week, 4 days the next.
B) Pay $5.50/hr. The extra $1.50 is because of the extra hours I'd be working. This would come out as:
2 days=$110
3 days=$165
4 days:$220
Does that seem like too much per hour? I just want to be covered financially because I would be holding 2 full-time spots whether they are here or not. There is no way I can fill the random days they would not be here.
