How many days do they come now? I wouldn't take a drop in your pay just because they can only afford 1 day of care.

For myself I only charge full-time. I have had part-time before but it was for a minimum of 3 days a week. If they want to come one day of those three then so be it but I still charge for the 3 days. I don't worry too much about the drop off/pick up times as long as they are within my hours of work and do not disturb nap. If a child isn't here when we do art or eat snack then they miss out. I carry on with my day whether they are here or not. I do appreciate it though when parents give me a heads up if they are dropping/picking up at different times. I only have 1 family currently who is not consistent. As for picking up late - that is a huge NO NO. I charge a late fee and have no issue charging it. I do also have in my contract that consistent late pickups may result in termination. I would likely speak to a family about it before I got to the point of termination.
