I have a lady coming to see me tomorrow who wants care from September for her baby. She just wants Mon-Thurs 12.30 - 3.30/45. So this comes to just over 12 hours per week.
At the moment, I dont have any on my books, apart from some ad hoc ones over the holidays. So I am of the opinion, any work is work right now.
The hours as such dont put me off (its term time only as well) but I wondered whether poeple charge more for less hours?
I currently charge £4.50 and wondered whether it would be acceptable to charge a slighly higher rate for say less than 15 or 20 hours? I looked on another childminders website near to me and she charged an extra £1.50 per hour for occassional/emergency/lesser hours.
What do you think? I need to know so I can be ready for her tomorrow and to change my fees policy if needs be!!
