Hi all! Thanks for your replies on my other thread about starting childminding. For those who didn't read it I've just registered as a CM. I had a phone call today from a lady who'd got my number off a childminder I'd met on the first aid course. She sounded v desperate and relieved to have found me (I don't think there are many in my area).
Anyhow she's coming over next week to chat about taking her 4 yr old son part time in September (he's going to nursery the rest), then b4 and after school in january. I'm thinking because she sounded so relieved to have found me that I can charge her for the hours he is at nursery / school - I remember them saying this can be done on my course.
Have you done this and what did you charge? I'm going to start at £4 an hour which I know is a lot but I think a lot of parents would like a former primary school teacher for a childminder (have 4 years teaching experience). So if I'm charging £4 for a normal hour, what would be reasonable to charge during the day? Or would I be better off just charging a one-off day fee?
Thanks in advance for your help.
