Settlng in sessions

[Snowwhite]

does anyone charge for a settling in session(s) if a parent wants a child to have an hour, 2 hrs or more with you so as to get them used to you.before there start date? Unsure whether to offer it for free or charge an hourly rate.What do you all do? Thanks

I offer two 2 hour sessions free but if parents feels they want more I then charge

I do 2 x 2 hours free. I have an 8 month old coming for first settling tomorrow morning - it's been 2 years since I last had a baby!

If a parent wanted any more than that I would charge them. Settling is also done at my convenience to a certain extent due to ratios rather than when the parent wants. One of the days LO will be coming is Thursdays and I have 2 gentle 2 year old girls so think best to start on that day!
