3. Babysitting (Evenings/Weekends)
• All Ages: £10.00 - £15.00 per hour, per child
Justification: I charge a premium rate for babysitting, which typically occurs outside regular hours. My background in Health and Social Care reassures parents that I can handle emergencies and provide quality care, justifying this higher rate.

Important Notes:
1. Discounts apply only to the total fee and cannot be combined with other promotions.
