Yes I do transport kids, not on a regular basis, but I have a VERY close nit group of clients (except these ones) everyone has been with me for years, I call to remind of my kids sched or ask them in the am and they all respond with a "of course, you know we don't care".....they trust me and like I said they have all been with me a long time, (since before my kids were at the age of afterschool activities) It has NEVER been an issue until now. These "new" parents, new to me and also new in the sense their daughter is a baby and first child, are more gaurded. Of course, and I completely understand, however...they have to understand I sometimes need to do things with in day care hours, doctor appt, dental appt, kids dr and dental, chiro appt, and last but def not least....my kids are older, in sports and such. I try to find other people some of the time to help out, but also feel, I stayed home to be a better Mom.....can't do that when you are tied to the house with other peoples kids all day until 5:30. I have transported this baby before, and a few times actually gone out of my way to drop the baby off to her mothers work (at the Mothers request) because my back was out and had to go to chiro at 5pm. the mother chose to stay at work and asked me to drop the baby to her on the other side of town. (thats where it gets me confused, when they say they didn't want me transporting her and wanted me to stay home all day, assuming for safety sake) but asked me to drive her to the other side of town rather than pick her up early? I do see that I need to add to my contracts an agreement to transport (i dont have one now) never needed one to this point. Honestly? I dont want to transport everyones kids to my daughters basketball, and feel I would short my own kids not to be there. If you dont transport kids...what do you do when you need to go somewhere during the day or have a child of your own who needs you on a regular basis through the school year?
