    This is fair, right?

    Good morning!

    I've been looking after this one lady, we'll call her Amy, well I've been looking after her kid since he was two. Just on and off -- max six days a month. He is now four. My day care used to be open from 8-5. Now, it's 8-4:30. This is fine for all my parents but Amy. I told her I am willing to work with her on this and stay open until 5 for her. She said she appreciated it.

    I'm thinking, though, that I should still charge her extra (my rate is $5 for every 15 minutes they stay past 4:30). So this would bring her daily bill from $40 to $50. Does this sound fair? It's what I would do if another parent phoned me up and said they needed me to look after their child until 5. I'm flexible, I CAN look after them till 5... but since my operating hours are 8-4:30, and in my parent's handbook it says that if kids stay past 4:30 it's $5/15 minutes extra, should I apply this to her too? Or because she is going to ALWAYS be picking up at 5 (or later -- 5:15 sometimes) should I waive it and make an exception for her?

    What are your thoughts?
