I have a 3 days per week dck who's mom asked if she could drop her off for an extra day next week. She has done this once before and because I hadn't really thought about a charge, I just told her $20.00. She didn't ask about the cost this time so I wonder if she just figures it's always $20.00. Her regular daily fee works out to be about $40.00 and I do have a drop-in rate in my contract of $50.00 for the day.
In this type of situation, would you just let it be at the $20.00 rate, charge her regular fee of $40.00 or do the drop in charge of $50.00? If I tell her the charge is more than last time, how exactly should I tell her? Do I just flat out tell her that I didn't put much thought into it before but have now developed a new policy for 'extra days?"
