I'm TTO and only work 8am-5pm. It's been tempting to accept year round care but so far I've managed to hold out for parents who want TTO and it's worked out okay for me.
From September I have:
Child A - 8.30 to 3.45
Child B - 8.00 to 5.00
Child C - 8.00 to 9.00 (school drop off)
Child D - 8.00 to 4.00/5.00 depending on the day
Child E - 8.00 to 5.00
At a push I'll stay open until 6pm but I have my own two children to consider. I charge a slightly higher hourly fee than the average for my area but the flip side to that is I don't charge a retainer fee (which means that most of my parents are better off than if I charged a lower fee plus retainer)
Life is all about how you handle plan B
