    Default Help with fees

    I have a parent contact me for to mind her daughter, parent attends college therefore she only gets paid term time but wants the lo to come all year round
    I was going to work out her annual fees and split it over the term time
    Anyone got any suggestions as I've never done this before

    Cheers

    Work out your weekly fees, multiply them by 52 and then divide them by 38.

    Sorry don't have much experience of this but if you are to have her all year round and not tto, then do the fees as you normally would and times weekly by 52 weeks divided by 12?

    I have still to meet the parent but it wouldn't be every holiday as she has study leave so I thought to just average it over the year

    I have parents who go to college , college pays half fees during holidays. I do think this a new thing as have cared for college parents before and never received this

    I have a child who goes to college and is paid through care to learn.

    The contract I have is full fees term time 1/2 fees holidays. that works better for me

    but last year when starting just charged for hours I worked so if she used me during the holiday she paid....

    It wouldn't be 52 weeks as I am assuming you will take some holidays...Depends what you charge holidays
