Overnight care!!

[Jules12Wed]

Hi - Just wondered if anyone childminds overnight?? If so how do you work how what to charge. I am assuming you would not charge your hourly rate for the whole night? Or would you?

Any help or suggestions grateful.

I do overnight care and have a set rate from 7pm - 7 am then anything before or after is at hourly rate .

I also do overnight care and also charge a set rate mon-thur and fri-sun (slightly higher for weekend) I don't do an hourly rate during the day, set rate again, so i set overnight rate above this as their are more hours and unsocial hours. Take into consideration extra checks, risk assessments you need to do, will you be fit for work the next day if you are up all night and also will it impact on your day numbers if they are not collected on time.
