Charging for pick up and drop off.
I had a mindee start in Sept. The hours were agreed by text and the fees but on the day of contract the mum said she would need pick up and collection of her child. I was grateful of the hours etc and kept the fees stupidly the same. The house is no where near me (the opposite side of our town) and a pain on 2 of the 3 days i do.
This wasn't an issue till last week when her sister joined me with her child and i have said i will have to charge her fuel as collecting and dropping which is fine by the mum. However being related i can't charge one and nbot the other, also have noticed the hassle and fuel difference so am going to tell this other mum im charging fuel.
So days 1 & 2 are half days but she gets charged full days as i cant fill the space which is fine with her and day 3 is a full day so was thinking ide just charge fuel for one day not all 3? opinions? dont want to lose her and know she struggles a bit now.
Do you charge and how much
thanks
