10.5 hr days for a 12 month old?

That is very common asking here in Ottawa as parents in many government type jobs especially have the option to work an extra hour a day and in exchange get every other Friday off. I charge the full week but expect them to keep the child on the day off or pay an additional amount for that day which amounts to having paid for an extra hour of care on all the other days. As long as pick up is within my time frame it works for me. I am open from 6:20 to almost 5.

I've always had kids of all ages here for that length. I don't think I have anyone here for less than 10 hours (sometimes one). I've never had an issue with adjustments to it or anything. Same old, same old. I'm open for 12 hours a day, so anything less than that is just lovely in my mind
My sister works for government here as well and does that extra hour too for that 1 Friday every 3 weeks off. She still pays for that day though. It's her choice not to use it.
