I used to be open 730-530 and am now 745-5 but usually only work 815-430. It all depends on the shifts of the parents I have at the time. I live in a smaller city and it doesn't take any longer than 15 minutes to get from one side to the other. I also have it in my contract that if they do not need need care until 5, to not wait until then if they don't have too. I also offer a reduced rate if they keep their child home on days off. Some do and some don't. I don't care if they send their child on a day off now and then but when they NEVER keep their child home on a day off I admit I do feel sad for the child. However, not much I can do so I try not too worry about it but yes, it does annoy me sometimes. Especially when they know I am working sick, it really bugs me when they have a day off and still send their child. Oh well, tis the job!!
