Hi,
I look after twins full time and have done so for a couple of years now. Everything has gone along steady, they are a lovely family and children.
When we decided the weekly bill it was a case of bartering an amount and i am happy with what i get.
Lately there has been talk of the boys starting pre school and they will be doing so maybe of next week. they will be using their 15 free hours so i will not have them for 2.5 days out of the week.
The parents called me round last night and told me one of their hours had been cut and cant pay me for the days they are at pre school and need me to ammend fees. their hourly rate is not great when i look at it and even charging half isn't a huge drop for them but i cant afford to work for nothing. The pre school shuts in holidays too so i would have them throughout meaning i need some to keep the place.
What would you do?
Thanks
