hi all,
first I want to ask about bank holidays, I dont work bank holidays, nor do i charge for them, Iv recently been asked by one of my parents if i will work a bank holiday,but i dont no how to say no,shes quite outspoken and always puts me on the spot. she made a big deal when she started she didnt want to pay for bank holidays ( i used to charge normal rate for them and take the day off but since changed this to no fee) anyway she refused to pay so we worked it out she would get 2 weeks holiday free and pay for 2 weeks holiday for me.
I dont wish to work bank holidays at all, im thinking to telling her if she wants me to work it will be double time (normal rate is £3.70ph - so will be £7.40) although i wont be available for all the bank holidays she requests.
sendondly - i include meals in my fee £30 8am - 6pm, i have recently decided to request a pack lunch from parents for half terms and summer holidays (having 6 or 7 children on some days) as we are on outings most days like farms or parks etc in the holidays im spending half my morning making up all these pack lunches every day, and a contribution 1 day per week (not every week) for a more expensive trip, farm or beamish etc.
How do i put this is writing? nicely so that itsnot put accross as mean....
thanks natalie
