How did she sleep last night?

Mom hasn't said outright how bedtimes have been, but she asks the same nap questions everyday. Dcm did say that once naps are started, the dcg stays up later, wakes up earlier and needs a nap again in the day. What I took from that is that mom does want her in bed early. Dcm also inadvertently told me that bedtime is 630 at night.
Dcg fell asleep again today. I tried waking her up twice, but to no avail. The third time I had to physically move her to get her up. She is so tired. The only reason I am waking her is to stop mom from banning the naps altogether. I know that technically she isn't the boss, but they are half of my monthly income and it is really hard to find new families around here - there are just so many dayhomes in the surrounding areas.
I am adding a naptime/quiet time section into my contract for future families because expecting no naps is NOT okay with me anymore. I am relatively new to this whole thing and it is hard work taking care of so many kids who aren't your own. I wish that the parents could realize this, but to be fair, I didn't really understand myself until I started doing this full time. Good for all of you have made a life time career out of this. At this point in time, I am not so sure that this is going to be what I will be doing forever anymore.Comment
