The three services I am looking to offer are part time child care on a weekly basis (potentially in between summer camps), emergency/back up child care (if the primary child care for the day fell through), and overnight child care for parents who are taking a trip. I would also be interested in small group care. I plan on only offering the overnight child care to parents within my school community.
I have two masters in education, a degree in child development, and I have extensive training on reading development. When I was in grad school (2017) I charged $20(+5$ per additional kid) for regular part time care, and $30(+$5 per additional kid) for emergency/back up care.
If anyone has any guidance or feedback I am very open! For context I would be primarily advertising in the Georgetown/Palisades and Navy Yard/The Wharf area. Also, if anyone has advice on how to advertise my services I am open to those recs as well!
Minimum of $50/hr for normal child care and $75/hr. for tutoring

My 15 Year Old gets $20 / hour for babysitting in NW DC (2 elementary aged kids)
Minimum Wage is $17 / hour in DC
If you are going to charge $50 - that is $2000 for the week. Most families can find a summer camp that is significantly less - so be clear what they are getting that makes it worth their while. (are you driving them to the pool?, teaching them to swim? etc)
If you are tutoring - are you Orton-Gillingham certified (or trained). For an OG Tutor rates are more than $100 / hour

How much is daycare these days for full time weekly? If anyone is willing to share, perhaps base your cost of of those figures.

You could charge more for tutoring than babysitting. We currently pay $40/hour for a graduate student (with degree in education studying to become a S&L pathologist) to tutor my 5 year old.

OP, since all those hours are random, with no benefits, you should charge at least $35-40 for daytime hours.The only thing that your degrees may not be needed for such short term jobs but you could definitely command highest rates if you decide to take a full-time nanny job through an agency.

Hi OP,
I'm a nanny without a Degree so take my numbers with some wiggle room for yourself, ha.
*Part-time care/back up care: If providing private care in the family's home, I charge between $22-$30, depending on age and number of children and I have a 4hr min.
*FOR overnight care: I will go down a few dollars (typically 1/3rd) and charge for all hours. Example: Family needs weekend overnight care from Friday at 5pm daycare/camp pickup until Sunday at 5pm. Two kids. For 48 hours, I would charge around $16 × 48 = around $770 + meals covered and any gas reimbursement.
You should do whatever works best for you financially. Some nannies charge hourly rates for all hours, others do a set overnight rate + full rate for "awake" hours, etc.

Hi!
I am a DC teacher who is looking to offer some child care options over the summer and it has been a while so I am out of touch with the pricing.
The three services I am looking to offer are part time child care on a weekly basis (potentially in between summer camps), emergency/back up child care (if the primary child care for the day fell through), and overnight child care for parents who are taking a trip. I would also be interested in small group care. I plan on only offering the overnight child care to parents within my school community.
