Hi everyone! I really need help with something. I work for a company that provides before and after school childcare and works out of different elementary schools. The school I work out of has under 18 kids so I am the only teacher and I'm considered the Site Director/Master Teacher. I have over 30 college credit hours and will be finishing up this summer with an associates degree in Family Studies and Child Development. We don't work during the summer when school is out and the parents of one of my student's asked if I could babysit for them. I would be working from about 8am - 5 or 5:30 pm, Monday-Friday. She asked me how much I charge and I didn't know what to say. I've never done full-time babysitting before and I have no idea what the general pay is. I told her how much a make an hour at my job and to just make me an offer and let me know. I would be watching 1 child and he is in kindergarten. Since it's all day, I'm sure I will be feeding him at least lunch and would imagine picking up the house a bit. What would you charge for this? If you were hiring what would you pay for this? Advice is greatly appreciated!!
