I have a family of nurses who work 12 hour shifts + 1 hour lunch + 50 minute rt commute to my home. That's a 14 hour day for me, but only 3 days a week. 42 hours of care in 3 days' time.

I'm normally only open 10 hours a day. I discount my rates to $4/hr for families who sign up for the FT 50-hour week with me. It's $4.50/hr otherwise.

So I'm torn on what to charge this family because it's a LOT of hours per day but it's not the full 50 hours. Do I charge them $4/hr (=$167/wk)? $4.50/hr (=$189/wk)? The entire FT 50hr/wk rate ($200/wk)?
