I have never taken a deposit before but i need advice now on how this works
I have a parent coming to visit on Saturday, well hopefully i have, this is the 3rd appointment she has made!!
All my other parents were known to me as we live in a small village. This lady is from a nearby village and due to not turning up for last 2 appointments i'm a bit concerned.
Anyway she wants 2/3 days a week and every other saturday so that will average out about £63 a week. So how much deposit do i ask for? I was thinking one weeks fees if she intends to pay weekly or half a months fee if she intends to pay monthly.
Other question is do i then take deposit off first bill?
thank you
