Hi,I charge monthly in advance so parents pay on the 28th of the month for the one ahead .
I took on a child for holiday care at easter , they rung up a few days before they needed me as had been let down and couldn't get in to see me till the start day . Mum came early signed permissions, contracts etc and read through relevant policies paid and off she went.
She didn't know if she would need me at spring bank but again it was a rush job ending up paying on the first day for all the days.
i rung her asking to let me know what she needed me through summer the other day so i knew what i was doing , she confirmed dates so i said ok and explained my usual payment system which i also told her before and she was most put out by this and said she will pay on her first day like she has before!
I charge like this as i have been let down by my very first mindee and it was a harsh lesson to learn.
Im at a loss really as what to say ?
