I charge 30 dollars a day for full time
55 for 2 kids full time

20 dollars for anything under 4 hours, I DON'T DO hourly anymore, I had parents who would leave their kids here for 3.5hours and want to pay for 3 hours, so I did change this.

also, I only charge 5 dollars for one hour for afterschool kids, after that, its 20 dollars.

I also don't take kids for 1 day a week, way too much head ache and totally not worth it. And I find that I dread those children. Also, you need to get the parents to give you a schedual every week and slot in children so you can have full days. I have partimers that come come everyday for half a day.

also start advertising, buy a shirt with your name on it, pin buisiness cards everywhere, esp. grocery stores. And get a sign and put it on your front yard, this is the best advertising for me, and because i live in a small town everyone knows that i'm the daycare lady. Yes there are 2 in homes that charge less then me, but you get what you pay for.
