just after some advice if this was you what would you do??
My rate is normally£3.50.
A cm near me phoned and asked if I would take over her 2 before after schoolis, siblings{6&9} . i asked her {iknow I should have stuck to my own fees etc} how much S {cm} used to charge her and it was £3 each....just before I started i worked out I was goign to charge before and after £5 OR THERE abouts. but to take them on I though *** it I'll do £3 SO IT'S A DISCOUNT ETC.
Now this is not straight forward because usually it's either before OR after and only sometime both. the days are never the same each week. Last week i had them 5 days, 2 am 2 pm 1pm&am.
this week ive only got them 3am but mum asked today if I could have them am&pm 2moro.
still with me??
now i have had them since 23rd feb. I have noticed lately that they seem to use a lot of soap, tissue, drink hell of a lot.
so really would you ask for extra on invoice??? mum did say at the beginning that she doesn't mind paying more for things etc usually I wouldn't mind but they seem to take the mick....the 6yo when washign his hands rather than just the 1 squirt of handwash he will use 4-5 at a time:panic: it's going down rapidly. they are constantly drinking, again I don't mind but feel with money how things are at the mo we can just about use what we got without extras using more on top.
does that make sense? I don't think they are short of a few bob, not that that makes a difference.
advice would be gratefully received
p.s sorry about caps etc my finger keeps slipping on caps instead of 'A' lol
