I did charge my highest rate for this family, even though they didn't use a full day. It ended up being a $25 per week difference, so that equals out to your $5 a day.
I generally have a "no teachers" rule, but this family was referred by my very favorite dcf.
Going forward, I'm going to ask on the telephone is either parent is a teacher. If so, they are not getting through my front door for an interview. Ha!
