Hello
I am drawing up a new contract. Parent asked me if I could drop at home at 4.30pm. Said I couldn't til 5pm as husband not in til gone 4.30pm and another mindee arrives about 4.45pm. Should I be charging for my return journey home? My husband thinks I should. I charge in half hours so that would take me til 5.30pm but reckon I'd be back about 5.10pm. I don't want them to think I am taking the p. I have already said I am charging a higher rate to cover school pick up and drop off back to their house.
Their weekly bill is £92. Should I just charge til 5.30pm and then knock the £2 off as gesture of good will? Or just charge til 5pm and accept that getting higher rate of pay than normal? I am charging £4 whereas I would charge £3.50 if parents were dropping off/collecting themselves.
I am also only charging from 8.30am til 5 or 5.30pm whereas I suppose i could have charged her a 8-6 full day so think I am fair in that respect.
any ideas? thanks
