Is this to much? Or to little? EDIT more info added in replys page 1

I do child care. I have a lady wanting me to watch her 8 year old. I would have to take her to and from school. She is 8. Her mom will be dropping her off at 5 30 am and picking her up at 6pm. I would also be feeding her dinner. 5 days a week. (She goes to school on base about 5 miles each way) I think 95 a week would be good. Is that too much? Or too little? or just right. I try to stay under 100 because that makes it look cheaper. LOL....plus the kid is 8 so she wont require a ton of attention.

I think it is a bit much.  She doesn't need constant attention and most of that time she will be in school.   If that is what you feel is appropriate then go for it.  I wouldn't pay that for an 8 year old but this lady just might.

So, you will be watching her approx 6 hours a day, 5 days a week and providing one meal each day? I think $80-$100 is okay. I would personally just charge $80 because of age, but that is just me :)

Keep in mind about 25 of it a week will go to gas AND food.

I stick with my OR. I was factoring that in :)

Souunds ok to me. 

[imthatgirl728]

I would ask for more then that. Maybe $150 a week.

[airforewifenmom]

 Oh, I forgot lol I will be watching her on saturdays every other week. her mom works on days off days. So........I would be providing 3 meals for the child, every other week. On 1 day.

I think  that is fine.. Are you going to charge extra for days she does not have school?

Quoting ommy47:

No.

Sounds reasonable to me.
