I am thinking of 20$ a day for 1 child. 30$ for 2 children that are siblings. I was also thinking on Friday nights, Sat, and Sun charging a little more, since it's the weekend. I was thinking 10$ more a day or if it's only a couple hrs 10$ and hr for 1 and 15$ for 2 sibs?? Please help??

I do childcare and I charge $20 a day on week days and that is whether they are there for 2 hours or 8 hours... its just a flat rate of $20 for one kid and $25 for siblings. As for weekends I charge $25 a day for one and $30 a day for siblings. There is nothing wrong with charging more for weekends because that is my time to get things done such as grocery shopping and spending time with my family.
