Here's my dilemma...I am pretty spoiled with the one family I have. Drop off is 7:55 and pick up is 4. I have a new family starting in August that has been spoiled by their previous caregiver. They drop off super early and pick up super late. I am not willing to accommodate unless the pay is what it should be for waking up earlier and staying open later (a lot later in my opinion).
They want to drop off between 7-7:30 (I want a better estimate of time) and they want to pick up between 4:30-5 (again I want better estimate of times). Right now I charge $20 a day/child. I don't really have a set pay for school aged. It's for a 3 year old and a 2nd grader.
I am legally unlicensed. So I can have up to 4 unrelated children in my care, so the school aged boy counts towards my total but I feel like I can't charge full day for him because he would only be in my care for roughly 2-2 1/2 hours. But I think we all know how school agers are. I swear they have no control over their bodies after school
They are also the type of family that if they're paying for the service then they are going to get the full days worth....we all love those!
Sooooooo where would you all go from there? I need a way to make it look like it would benefit them for picking up earlier and dropping off later, but how should I charge if they choose not to do those?
Any help is appreciated TIA
