Babysitting

would it be be right to charge someone with disabilities more?
Would it not be seen as discrimination?

I can understand why you would want (deserve) more for the extra care/responsibilities involved.

My Nephew has Autism and my sister would allways pay more for someone she trusted to watch him when he was younger.
She claimed DLA for him and in her eyes thats what the money helped out with among other things.

you need to think about the fact that it is four children not two as well. Our baby sitter in sussex charged 8ph for 2 and a £1 an extra child up to a max of 4 children. I think she had been left with load onces at a family party.
Her view was that it was harder work if they all woke up etc . Also she would have to get them all out in case of a fire etc.
Also do the special needs children have one to one help or are they ok within the home . I would also check if the 12yr old is really no trouble at nightime as i have heard of things being completely dirrent from the daytime ..........
