Do you work bank holidays?

[MUM2BLESS]

Just wondering if you work bank hols? if yes how much do you charge?

Working my first in June, charging £5.00 per hr. I know some charge more.

Double fees but its up to you as you are the one working, not me!!

I don't but if someone was desperate I would charge double.

Interesting. so your charging around £6-00-£7.00 per hour?

I may look to increase my prices in the future. First time working bank holiday.

I don't but if I did it would be double time

Not as a rule, but if someone is desperate, and it's convenient for me I will. I charge £4.50 ph (normal rate £3.50) but might revise that looking at the responses here!

I'm still pre-reg but have been researching local prices and the only one that does charges £10/hr (usual rate £6) so I'm thinking I might too at that price

my usual rate is £6 per hour (all inclusive) but if I am needed to work bank holidays, it would be at double pay

I am one one of those who does not work but I do charge because most salaried people will be paid for a B/Hol so why not a childminder. It is clearly set out in my contracts from the very beginning so there is no doubt as to what my policy is on the subject. I know it can be a tricky issue in that I charge but do not work but at the end of the day, if it is made abundantly clear at the outset then if the parents are not comfortable with my approach they can look for another provider before contracts are agreed.

I dont work Bank Holidays, so I dont charge,
As Akasa says its a tricky issue and one I really dont want to have..
I personally feel uncomfortable asking to be paid for something Im not prepared to do. IYSWIM.

I work bank holidays if needed and charge my normal hourly fee, £7 per hour.

Most of my parents are self employed, as I am, therefore are not getting paid when they don't work. I wouldn't dream of charging when I'm not available.

most salaried people will be paid for a B/Hol so why not a childminder

Because a childminder is not a salaried person, they are someone who charges a fee for providing a service. No service, no fee.

I don't work bank hols so don't charge but I have a little section on my contracts that states I may be willing to help out if they are desperate but that I'd charge them double (standard rate £4.50ph)

If I do not work I do not charge. Our packages are very different.

Please help me out here.

Do most cm charge a daily fee? I prefer to do hourly.

Do you charge more for before and after school kids, min of 2 hrs?

What perks do you give your parents if any? (extras)

Do you put up your prices annually?

This should be under a different setion excuse me for putting this in.

I think I need to do some thinking about what needs changing. ie charges etc.

I am working bank holidays mainly because mindees mum is a nurse and only works three days and always a Monday. I'm also working Tuesday but that's because to me it's a normal day and mindees parents still working. I charge £3 per hour normal rate and £3.50 on a Bh but normal fees tuesday

I think i may consider charging more on bh if they are not my regular parents.
