I seem to have all the questions this week!
When you do a rate increase, by how much do you raise your rates at one time? I am considering $5 more per day, but i have 2 families who have increased their time with me over this past year, and I am considering $10 per day for them.
Normally I would just raise rates for new clients, but with my current group, I could have them for the next two years with no changes. The mom that has been asking for an extra hour here or there (i posted about her yesterday) told me that she is starting a new job and will need the extra hour more often. So I am thinking I would raise her rate more to accommodate for the extra time each week. Any thoughts? I am currently at $40/day, if that helps.
