hi i have had a phone call for me to look after a ladies child at the weekends but how much do i charge in the week its£3.00ph but about w/e any ideas
thanks

Sorry never done weekends... think a few people do though... hope they come along soon! :D

Weekends are unsociable hours...some add £2/3 pounds to their hourly rate...so £5per hour would become £7/£8 ph & some double it..so £5ph would become £10ph....
the choice is yours!

Personally I wouldn’t work weekends either but I think you need to charge at least another 50 per cent on top of usual rate so £4.50 would be reasonable but it depends on how much you really want to do it.

I work Sat morning but only charge an extra 50p an hour

Its your time, so charge what you would consider worth working a sat!! I personally wouldnt work for less than £50 an hour!!:laughing: My saturdays are the only days with my lovely husband and so i treasure them!! But each to their own!! x x

Sorry I don't work weekends so can't really offer any advice.

Do you know of any other minders in the area who work weekends?

that time is for my family only.

sorry, dont work w/ends but would probably add £2 on top of my normal fee.

I charge £7 an hour but as yet havent done any weekends xxx

I would check what others in the area are charging but I wouldn't want to do it for less than £4.50.

I know i could charge more than 50p extra each but it is 2 children from 1 family my hubby works Saturdays i have no dependant children so why not work it is only every other Saturday 8.00 - 12.45.
I would charge time and half if for 1 child

Angela

i charge time n half for saturdays and double time for sundays.


Jo

I don't work them but would charge double if I was really needed so £7 per hour

(because I work in line with the parents don't you know,:laughing: :laughing: )

i dont mind weekends as my hubby works more or less every weekend i have out it as £4.50 prh
thanks

A friend of mine charges £3.50 an hour during the week and £7 an hour at weekends. I charge £3.50 anhour normaly and £6 an hour at weekends

I don't do weekends use it as family time but would not work for any less than £5 per hr.

I charge time and a half for weekends. Sue x

I worked weekends last year and i would never do it again, even if i charged triple time it still would not make up for the quality time i get to spend with my family.
