i childmind mon to thurs for a baby, and in november days will change to tues to fri until April of next year, then return back to mon to thurs. im not sure but this could be an on going thing of half a year mon-thurs and other half tues-fri.
we both did a contract with a 3 month review, so this will take place at the end of Oct, which is handy so this gives me a oppurtunity to chat or add things i hadnt thought of to begin with, ive started to childmind again after 3 years, so i didnt bring the retainer chat up when we signed contracts as i didnt think too then, but now im starting to wonder if i should.
the thing is i said to her that i couldnt work fridays as i have 2 after school, so she has considered taking fridays off of work as holiday as she only wants him to come to me and no other CM, BUT now im free to work friday afternoons as 2 after school have now changed days, (sorry if confusing you) i dont know if she will just want an afternoon, so im thinking she will only want me tue to thurs now, if this is the case, then i will be out of pocket and i feel as im holding the monday for her, that i should charge her some how. But if i charged a retainer that would work out quite expensive as i charge £6 ph, and i work 8.15 to 7pm on mondays. Anyway sorry its long winded, but not sure what to do.
If she did want me fri afternoons then i wouldnt worry about the mondays as i would be getting nearly the same pay as im getting now and i couldnt expect her to pay a retainer for mondays too.
what should i do? thanks for any replys
