i'm rubbish talking about money - i've got 1 woman who wants to start with me full time from 3rd nov. taking her son to school and collecting him each day until 6pm - i charge £75 per week for this.
i mentioned today about half term/school hols etc, and she said 'oh i hadn't really thought of that, i think my parents would like to have him as they've been caring for him full time so it's a wrench for them'. i totally understand, not a problem to me..... BUT what do i tell her i charge her? by the sounds of it she hasn't made plans so do i tell her its a half fee retainer unless you start using the hols regularly then its full fee, or do i just say sorry its full fees during the hols?
we're doing a contract next week, which i'm dreading!
