Here a some facts:
I have a new sibling set, 10 week old, 15 mo old, and 4yr old in half day
preschool, only comes 2 days one week and 3 days the next. Her preschool is at least 30 min away from here. (dad and ex arrange this)
I DO NOT allow drop-off or pick-ups from 12-2.
They contracted for 11am-4:30. (mom works 8-4, dad works 3-11)
They pay $200 for new baby. ($25 lower than anywhere else)
$175 for 15 mo old. ($25 lower)
$35 a day for 4yr old. ($15 lower)
When they gave me their contracts I made it clear that I gave them these rates based on the hours they need. (11-430)
If they need more hours we will have to redo our contracts.
Their trial period is up and here's how the last few weeks have gone.....
Several times dad has had to drop-off at 7:30am, most other times it averages out to be 9am. He then drops off his 4yr old after school anywhere from 12-1.
I made it clear that after the trial we will have to sit down and talk about how everything has gone.
He does text me when they are on their way so it's not a surprise when they get here.
I really like the parents, super laid back and cool. The kids are very easy going, nap well, eat well, no issues.
When he brings in his daughter I lay her down and she does nap so I have been allowing him to bring her during nap.
My other kids get 9-10 hours of care (per day) for $200 a week so I don't have a problem giving them more hours. I just feel like this needs to be addressed so they know I stick to my word.
Here's what I'm thinking:
1. Allow them 9-4:30 Monday-Thursday, and Friday 11-4:30 (this will allow me to make appointments Friday morning).
$25 a week raise in rate.
2. Allow them 7-4:30 Monday-Thursday, and Friday 11-4:30 one week, the other Friday 9-4:30.
$50 a week raise.
3. Something else?
I would really like opinions please!
