    Default odd hours

    Hi girlies

    Wondered what others would charge for the following:

    Fri 18:00 - 21:00
    Sat 18:00 - 21:00

    Space is for 4 months old child. No room for additional hours

    Regards

    I personally wouldn't do it at the moment, family time for me. However if I was struggling for business I probably would but charge about £5.00 an hour.

    I'd probably go for between £22 and £25 on the basis that they probably wouldn't be able to find anyone else to do it so would be willing to pay.

    I would charge double my normal rate for the reason that although its only for 3 hours it actually means you are giving up every friday and saturday night. Personally I wouldnt do it as for me thats family time and although the baby is tiny it also doesnt mean thats its sleep time (could be wide awake and whingy time )

    My hourly rate is set at £3.50 between 8 and 6pm after these hours (if I was prepared to work them) then it would be time and a half Friday and double time on a Saturday
