What to Charge?

[Play and Learn]

Yes You are right for charging more!!! I would have asked more $35, and $22, but that's just me! You have to remember (and the parents too) that you're providing THEM a service.

You even said,

I suggested to her that I would have to adjust the rate slightly for the extra time they are in my care.

So why is she not pleased?!

You are doing something for them. You are not doing it as a favor, you are doing it as part of your job. Just like adding a manicure to your spa day increases the price. Extras cost more, she just needs to realize that. You're getting all the kids dressed, out the door, and getting the kids to school... this mom needs to start valuing your time and effort.

I guess she wasn't pleased because she is already forking out $475 to me every two weeks. I am essentially asking for $45 more every two weeks to walk her boys. She told me this morning though it is not about the money, so I really don't know now what is she thinks.
