I have to say though, I don't know about these late charges you are telling them they owe you for. Unless you say something/charge them daily it looks like you are just throwing this at them because of what they are trying to pull.

A torontokids - Which is why i haven't charged them. I've spoken to them a few times about being late and they ignored it......it being so close to our "summer agreement" i didn't want to rock the boat...BUT I was going to request a sit down with them to discuss the terms of the agreement (the same day they gave me notice) They told me I inconvenienced them so much that no matter what i said would it make a difference (referring to me leaving to take care of my mom) When I explained the accommodations I've made for them (including the late fee I didn't charge) she laughed at me. The next day they were late again. I record it all on their & my daily log sheet.

Sorry mommarmars, I forgot to mention I hope your Mom regains her health and that you have a good visit with her.

They were what I thought to be a stable & kind family which is why I was a bit too giving with charges...etc....I wanted to forma good long term relationship with them. After this I feel like it is just one more thing they want to take advantage of.....

I even declined care for temporary potential clients during the summer holidays because I was holding their spot as per my agreement to them.....had i known they were on a waiting list for this other place I would never have committed that space to them.
