late nights?

[mushpea]

would you work till 10pm once a month? if you have how does this impact on your family or does the child just sleep after a certain time, would be a young child under 2yrs, somone has asked me to do this today and i said i would consider it , just concerned about the impact on my kids with regards to them going to bed whilst i am still working with another child.
what do you all think and how did you get on if you did/do this.

i work til 9pm a few nights a week, starting to get fed up with it

I've never worked that late - wouldn't have wanted to when my children were little in case it upset their bedtime routine.............. and I liked my evenings to myself

I would.

What is another one to put to bed ?

[Sally G]

if once a month and money good i would - i would put them all to bed the same the child would just have to fit into your childrens normal routine!

I know it's not overnight care but just double check it's ok with your insurance company and Ofsted first.

I'd do it if it suited. I'd just put the child in bed at usual home routine time

i said i would charge £5 an hour after 6pm do you think this is resonable?

I think it is - babysitters round here charge that

I have had children that late before. Not very often though. I just put them in sleeping bags in the playroom ( brother and sister ) and they had a camp out , they had a blast and fell asleep by 7.30

I don't have any little ones of my own though so in your case I'd probably just put the little one to bed.

i used to work late late every saturday it got a bit of a pain after a while but once a month you would hardly notice, i do however charge double fee after 6.00pm as its unsociable hours
