Hi all have had an enquiry for overnight care on a sunday evening starting at 5pm, not sure what to charge, what would you charge for this?

I charge £40 a night from 1900 - 0700 (mon-fri) weekends I charge at double time an hour.

So in your instance I would charge £9 an hour from 1700 - 1900 (£18) + £40 overnight fees till 7am, then normal hourly rate of £4.50 from Monday morning until collected.

Yes I would do pretty much the same. Would ask for 10 pounds per hour on a Sunday, so from 5 to 7 that would amount to 20 and I would charge more for a weekend night than a week night. So instead of charging £50 the night I would charge £65 or £70.
Do not undervalue your services. If you set a fair price that brings a smile on your face, you will be much happier to do it, and your whole setting will also be happier. :):)
