Just when i thought we were as full as we want to be!

I had a knock at my door just before Holby was due to start, so wanted to deal with it quickly it was an ex neighbour of mine, whose mil lives next door to me wanting to know if i can collect her daughter from school and bring her back keep her for 1/2 an hour and then give her to her nan next door, this has come about because she needs to move the girls school and it is not close to her home, she has had to urgently pull her from the school she is in!

So i have said that if she accepts the place at the school where my two go i will do it, no idea what to charge, so have another headache to think about this.

We are full as we want to be until christmas at the moment but i thought that i ought to say yes, least it isn't for long, but thinking i should charge my standard rate of an hour, because it isn't worth the grief of another child otherwise!!

Guess beggars can't be choosers and for now i have to be happy that we are not short of business, cos it seems to go up and down like a see-saw!1

i would charge for the full hour if not more maybe a minimum price of £5 an afternoon.
not a lot for the peace of mind that her daughter has been collected and passed over to grandma

If you weren't looking for any more children and she isn't with you for long could you meet in the middle and say charge for 3/4 hour? I've just done this for 2 boys. Wasn't looking for after school so just charging for 3 1/2 hours they are here instead of the normal 4.

However, suppose you could look at this as being busier than you actually want to be so it's worth charging a premium?
