Just a vent!
I gave my number to another caregiver almost a month ago to give to a parent. The mom calls me today and she asked how much I charge. Then she said she can't afford that, and she was paying $3 less/day at the last place. I said Sorry, that's what I charge and I can't change it. She said 'well I can't pay that and I have no other place to go so what do I do?' :blink: umm I don't know, keep looking? Stop testing my boundaries? She had also asked if she could bring her daughter tomorrow, without even meeting me or seeing my space which I'm not comfortable with.
She said she'd talk to her hubby about my rate and call me back tomorrow!
