If you get 25 dollars an hour for two kids in preschool who are now in K - it makes sense to charge more per hour for the reduced hours right? I am thinking 45 is right for 3-5 hours a day is fair.

Why not look for a family who needs afternoon care and make it into a share/split?

I'm not the OP but that's my post you quoted.
Sure, I guess OP could suggest that to the family. But OP mentions "pick ups" after school so the other family would either have to be at the same school, or a school with a compatible schedule, which could limit options.
Also since the family OP currently works for has 2 kids, she would need access to a car that can fit at least 3 booster seats/car seats.
It's not so simple.
