I would have a look to see what the fees would be in the area she lives in and then base it on that.

I would charge your normal hourly rate for the week days and double time for the weekend. You could maybe ask them to send the money upfront so it clears by first day of minding.

I would charge you normal hourly rate, double at weekend and i would want the money up front either cheque two weeks before, allowing time to clear in bank or cash on the first day, whatever suits you really. please let us know what happens, good luck xxxx
