Minimum $10.00 per hour for the first 8 hours and $15.00 for each hour after that. That would be time and a half.

Depends on what area you live in. Here in Wisc. you don't get as much as when I was living in Calif. But I would think $2 for 1st kid and $1.50 ea/addt'l or $2 addt'l if in diapers or has special needs would be a good start. But since they're older and don't require as much watching over as say a toddler getting into everything would, then I'd say maybe $1.50 for 1st and $1 for addt'l. On the other hand, if you'll be providing meals, drinks, and snacks, which it sounds like you will be, then you may want to stick w/the higher amt. Or you can go w/the lesser amt and ask $10/week extra for food.

Wow! that is a long time. I would say if you have to provide meals, and what not to charge about as much as a full-time day car facility...call some locla places and ask their rates.
Personally I would charge around $150.00/week or so.

Wow, that's a long time! At least it's only once. I read somewhere that you should charge $3 per hour per child. I would say that you're worth more than that, but that is what's acceptable.

Depends on how much they pay daycare, what city you live in, will you be watching them at your house or theirs? I used to charge my parents $10.00 an hour. That's because I knew they paid our daycare $175.00-$200.00 a week.

15 to 20 dollars /hour sounds good
$10 if you really know them
Free if they are your friends
