How much should I charge for dropping off and picking up a child from camp?

Question

I only have to drive her there is no additional child care required.

Answer 1

I would request the cost of gas, or at least half of it. How far are you going?

Do you have a child that you are also dropping off? If you do, you should at least be able to ask for half, since this person is not dealing with wear and tear on their car or paying for a round trip in their own gas.

Answer 2

depends on the distance. if its only 20 minute or so drive then it should be part of the total cost of babysitting her (ie; how much you normally charge per hour.)

if its far,let say 4 hours away charge for gas + how long it would take u there and back. if its 4 hours each way let say, then charge them for 9 hours of babysitting (4 to go, 4 to come back, an hour or so there)

Answer 3

depends on how far out of the way it is, and if you are getting paid to watch her up to that point.

Answer 4

Depends on if its out of your way at all. If she lives right next door, and your children are going to the same place then nothing. If you have to drive 5 miles or 10miles both ways, with the prices of gas maybe 20.00-30.00 a week
