So I figured I would try my part time rate (which is $5 more than my full time rate) and see if I had bites. I did. I was shocked, tbh, as I already charge really high rates (already charge almost $10 more per day over other providers). But I make the promise that they are not charged for christmas, march or summer breaks. My own children are all school aged and we all LOVE it. Totally worth having the built in mental breaks.
So do you spread that out over 12 months so you have a set weekly rate, or do they just pay for the weeks they come? I'm trying to figure out breaks that start half way through the week and breaks that are only one or 2 days like MLK day and mid winter break.
