Thumbs up Another PP job!

Wow! I'm finally getting calls! A lady here from Israel called last week looking for PP work. I chated with her, gave her my prices and suggested she call around then discuss it with her dh. She called me back today and hired me for a total of 6 weeks! I start next Wed and will work 9-2 Mon-Fri, this will be during my kids school hours. That's a whole lot of money! Especially since I haven't had a paying client since May and only 1 on the books that's due in January. I'm so pleased!

Hi All! I'm exhausted! heading to bed soon. I just needed a little wind down time.

For rates I was thinking $25 an hour during the day (9-2 while kids are in school) $35 an hour for nights. Kirk really thinks I undercharged at $75 a night and I'm thinking he's right. We'll see, remember I'm doing the baby fair for the next few days too so I don't think I should make any decisions when I'm this tired. It's a good tired though. It felt good to be out in public again.

Anyways, thanks for the support.
