Sundays - What to charge???

[poppymay]

Hi, looking for some advice on what to charge for weekend work as have no idea what the norm is!

My standard hourly rate is £4.50 (in middle of the going rate for my area).

It will be for 2 siblings and approx 5 hours.

Thanks!

My Sundays are for church and family, so I would charge at LEAST double to have to work that day. People in office jobs usually get paid time and a half on Sats and double on a Sunday, so you should too.

I have occasionally worked weekends.

I charge double, no reduction for siblings.

I would say £12 an hr for the 2 of them.

I am a childrens nurse and do some weekend nanny work ad-hoc, and charge £12 an hr for sundays in east midlands and am at the very expensive end of what the going rate is, most people charge £8 an hr on weekends.

I guess you are a childminder from your rates and suppose you could charge more than that but then parents may think its more cost effective to get a weekend nanny.

My CM used to charge double for evenings and weekends.

i charge the same whether weekend or weekday, though do charge double for a bank holiday £10ph

I would charge them £10 -slightly more than your normal £9

Thanks for the replies, that really is a help!

I was thinking £10 - £12 an hour so pleased to hear that would be reasonable.

I never usually do weekends as my family time is so precious. Having said that, this week a mindees mum asked if I'd do a Sunday at double time and I said I would do a one off at double time as need the money. She worked out the hours she wanted made it £60.80 and she said she's round it up to £70 as a mark of gratitude I would not even consider doing it for less than double!
