My parents pay 160 per week for 7am-5pm. The late fee is a dollar a minute after 5. A parent wants to bring their kid @ 6:45 3 days this week, because of a special training they have to attend. They asked if I could do it and wanted to know the charge and understood that I'm not a morning person. 
What would you charge?

$10-$20/week extra would make me willing to get open 15 minutes early for 1 child.

$10 a week more. If you aren't offering it to anyone else, they pay babysitter rates vs. daycare rates.

I wouldn't charge. :-) I'd perk it, tell them,... Pumpkin spiced mocha latte is my price for early opening three days this week. Bring one each morning and we will call it good. Lol

I would charge them $5 per day though. It is in my contract that there is a fee of $5 per every portion of 15 mins they are early or late.

My contract also states $5/15minutes early or late, when preapproved. $1/min otherwise.
