Currently on mat leave but returning to work in January(boo hoo).

Had an enquiry from a mum who wants 8am till 6pm Monday to Friday.I know her current minder(who is letting her go cos she wants an earlier finish)doesn't charge an awful lot.
I will only be able to have 1 under 5 as my 2 dd's are little.

Waht would you say is a fair rate to charge? I'm in Scotland btw.

Thanks

Sorry been away all day.Well the going rate is between 2.50/3.50 per hr.I know shes only paying 2 per hr atm tho.

Just want to be fair to her.But don't fancy working 50 hrs for 100 quid.
