A neighbor would like me to get her kiddo off of the bus at 2:45 and she would pick her up at 3:05. Her daughter attends a school for special needs, so her schedule differs from my other school-agers. At that time, I'm in the middle of teaching our preschool curriculum and can't give up that time. In order for this to work, the child would have to cross my lawn and enter my side basement door to enter the program. This lack of supervision makes me nervous, particularly because she is young and cannot hear without her hearing aids, which mom has shared she refuses to turn on. Licensing echoed my concern and suggested I request a bus aide escort her to the door. I'll work on that request Monday, but I don't know if that is realistic. If not, would you agree to this?
Full disclosure: it is possible I'm just an excessive worrier. I live in a super safe neighborhood, on a quiet street, and my lawn isn't very big.
If I do agree to this, how on earth do I determine a reasonable rate? My current school-age rates are completely random and set way, way, wayyyy below market rate because they were a form of sibling discount. I wouldn't be doing much of anything with her, but this is also super inconvenient. She is a neighbor and has been very sweet to us, so I can't help but take that into consideration, as well!
