I have a little one ad hoc at the moment, have her most weeks one or two mornings
From sept mum wants either three regular mornings or at least one full day depending on what I have available
This is great and fits nicely, however I have been a bit lenient about not charging when she isn't here
We did have an agreement that I wouldn't charge if I got two weeks notice but that's not really worked out,, her big sister has cystic fibrosis so is in hospital a lot and often has to go in for two weeks... But she may not get a bed immediately she is meant to. In this situation they send Lo I care for to relatives 300 miles away, this last time she was there three weeks as big
Sis didn't get a bed for a week
I didn't feel I could or should charge for this, it's not fair they have enough on their plate.
I also didn't charge one day when I excluded her as there was sickness bug in their house.. Couldn't charge as she wasn't sick but I had two mums heavily pregnant and one with a new baby and it didn't feel worth it for 15 euros to have her! They were fine about it and tried to pay me but turned out there was no sickness mum
Had a bout of anxiety and dad didn't know what to say!
Obviously though if she is gonna take more hours it will need a contract and I will need to be paid regardless, though I am
Thinking maybe half
Fees if Lo goes to relatives if other one is in hospital. How to broach it and what's fair?!
