I did do several searches prior to posting this but could not quite find the answer I am looking for, so thought I would ask you lovely lot :)
I have 2 children (cpousins) 4 days a week and an elder brother 1 after school and in the holidays x
1 of the parents are expecting, they are happy to keep me and I will be miding for both and cousins (numbers all fine so not a question about variation here!!)
my problem is what to charge parents, I receive vouchers for F at the moment and the parents currently pay for the top up as it were, whilst on maternity leave they are happy to keep LO with me for the amount they can claim for which is roughly 1/3 - however its not financially viable for me x
Once the baby arrives and is in my care things will be better, but its going to be 6mths (can I suck it up that long), I am lucky as get on really well with Lo's parents (and LO lol!), and she is due for maternity in Aug, this week we will be chatting about things and finalising dates fees etc, what do you do ?
I dont want to muck with my in the day numbers, and an after schoolie would fill the void - mmmmmmmmmmmmmm brain melt tbh x
