I think that if you charge a day rate, it should be for a reasonable length of day - eight hours is the length of a standard office working day with only half an hour lunch, so someone working traditional hours would always find themselves needing to top the hours up to take into account longer lunches, overtime and commuting.
I've a day rate and an hourly rate in mind but to be honest, have quoted almost every parent differently depending on what they were looking for.
Apologies for the random full stops. Phone buttons too small, thumbs too big.
