    Default What to charge?

    Hi.
    I currently charge an hourly rate but am looking at taking on siblings. I would be having the 2 year old all day and collecting the 4 year old and having him too after school.
    What do I charge? I know some CM have after school rates but I currently have another after school mindee and I charge them hourly so don't think I could set after school rate for one and not the other??

    Thanks

    Just charge your normal hourly rate per child. Do you mean should you do a sibling discount? I never do, 2 children = 2x the work!

    You certainly can set different rates for different clients. You are offering a bespoke childcare service, not selling identical tins of beans.
