but if you do that, have it clearly in writting that they are not entilted to come that 10th day.
I would just spell it out, 44.45/day for 9 days. It works out to that same amount, but you are not stuck having to take their child on day 10.
I think you should charge more, do the math for them, if your hourly rate is 3.8/hour, then to charge them that for 10 days ywould be $418!! So $45/day for 9 days is still a steal! Honestly if this family thinks that paying you fairly is unacceptable, then let them walk.
