    I wouldnt chargea retainer as she wont be taking up any other spaces unless you take on more children.

    I would only charge for the sats she uses {maybe not sure}...i've jsut had an enquiry and i am charging her £5 an hour instead of my usual £3.50 an hour as it is a weekend etc.

    good luck

    I would only charge for saturdays used but would make it worth my while with an enhanced rate...

    I charged £5 an hour when I did it, and I wouldnt do every sat. mum wanted 1 in 4.

    If you charge £5 and only have the one child you are working for less than minimum wage. I know we often do it during the week but if its a favour to do Saturdays then you might want to consider that
