Seriously?! overbudget???

I got the same inquiry and also quoted her $20, she told me she could only afford $5 an hour yet she said she was getting 4 hours for $25 currently. I told her that the hours didn't work because she would be dropping off at sleeptime. She did not respond after that.

I think the parents would keel over if i told them i actually charge 30/35 per day, i was being very fair in giving them a deal since they only said they would need me for a few hours a day! Goes to show when you give an inch, some people want a mile. The parents said they would keep my info on file and let me know if they needed my services in the future ( it's not like i am going sit around and wait for them ). I replied 'ok thanks for inquiring about my daycare!" I wish i could have replied with something snarky, but i am always polite, even when i don't really feel like it.
