Just been asked to look after a 10 year old girl for an hour and a half before school and walk her to the school gate. What would you charge for this? My hourly rate is £5 per hour, and I have a minimum charge of 2 hours, but £10 a day or £50 a week seems a bit much? What do people think?

Is there a local breakfast club that you could compare prices with? Will you have her during holidays? are you going out of your way before school - if so full rate if not you could negotiate to £7.50 at £40 a week?

Was that she walked out the door with a "no" for you or she said yes and you got the baby too?

Either way well done
