I keep it simple for myself. I charge $X (per hour) for a school aged child. I charge $X.25/hr for a child that has been potty trained (or 2 yrs of age, which ever comes later) through school age. And I charge $X.50/hr for infants through age 2 (or potty trained whichever is later). I figure if I have to change stinky diapers, I'll charge a little more. I do not offer a discount for more than one child. I feel my rates are on the low side of average for the area I live in.

When I used to work out of the home and had my kids in daycare I did not get a discount because I had two kids. I would have never thought to ask for a discount from my provider either. I didn't see why she should get paid less from me than if she would have only had one of my children and another child from another family there. It just seemed unfair.
