I have a little girl in my dayhome who's mom works shifts and her dad works long days. I have her anywhere from 0-4 days per week and she starts at 6:15am. Some days mom picks her up at 3 and some days dad picks her up at 6 (depending on moms work schedule). Even though she's p/t, I can't take on another p/t child as her days change week to week. Looking back, I should have charged my f/t rate - especially because almost no dayhome in my area is open 12 hours and the little one is under 2 so she takes up a highly coveted baby spot. Instead I charge them $45/day for the days they use. (my regular rate for p/t is $40/day). The little one is a total sweetheart and the parents are fantastic as well, but I can't help but think I've totally shortchanged myself. What would you charge this family and is there anything I can do about rates now without looking like a moron?
