re : A long day? 18/08/2016 08:14 - How Much Should I Charge or Pay ----------------------------------- This parent has everything well thought out with the terms youv listed. You´ll soon be cheesed off with it all if you need the money or worse if you find you don´t like feeling used. Iv had one family on a pay as you use as theyd family who could mind so it was made very clear at initial phonecall and it worked fine as in reality I ended up with more days then originally planned over the years but there was times I´d be planning I´d work and pulled at last minute. It´s too easy to pull kids when you on a pay as they use. I´d only offer this if I´d fulltime child and so working anyway. Offering a pay as you use for me means a higher rate when you the family. Are you insured, giving a contract as this will have a bearing on how much family will be happy to pay!
re : A long day? 18/08/2016 11:06 - How Much Should I Charge or Pay ----------------------------------- Wow! To be honest I would avoid! Assuming you´re registered, insured, vetted with first aid etc you´re running your own business You may find it had to fill the other 3 days, as for those "terms" you´re in control of that!! If the child can´t come they should ABSOLUTELY pay! Re holiday pay or bank hols If it is their hols I would charge as you are still available I personally don´t charge for my holidays but many do!! It sounds like this is bit of a nightmare situation waiting to blow up If you want to go for it have an iron clad contract (as MinderOfChild suggested) and a holding fee of minimum 3 weeks ( to prevent them not turning up and pulling kids out)
