Thanks for all your input girls! :)

I was thinking maybe $40 for 1 child, $68 for 2 and $85 for 3 kids (I have one family with 3 kids). Does that sound okay?

I agree with the other girls. I would totally pay 30 bucks to have overnight care on new years eve.

I think it's worth more than $30 on New Years Eve. I agree with brooke too, discount if more than 1 child.

I think that it's worth a lot more than 30.00 for all that time, but if you had a few kids come, then I guess it would be worth it. I would give at least a 30% discount on the second child, if not more, on the 2 kid families. Just my thought!

I have an in-home daycare and watch kids Mon-Thurs. My normal daily rate is $30 per day for 6-10 hours of care (this includes all meals, snacks, and a preschool program). My husband (who is a 911 dispatcher) has to work on New Year's Eve, so I thought I would open up my home to watch kids that night from 7pm-10am on the 1st. I am a little unsure of what to charge for watching the kids overnight.

What would you be willing to pay for this? Also, I have a couple families with more than 1 child - what kind of discount is fair to you for multiple children?
