Thanks ladies for all of your advice. Talked to the mum this morning, she told me it is not about the money. She said she already has her son (the autistic one) signed up for a special bus in the morning's. Her husband is trying to change his shift in the morning so he can go in a little later. She understand that I already have a hefty load of kids that I walk in the morning too, 3 of my own and 3 daycare children. She thinks, which I also agree, that adding two more may be a little too much, especially in the winter.

I wonder if I had offerered my services in the morning without the extra charge would it of been a different story this morning. Hard to know.
