How long to accommodate a family?

[babydom]

No your not being unreasonable. The average daycare day is 10hrs, like 7-5 for me. Anything outside those hrs I charge more. I charge an hrly fee for early drop offs and late pick ups. U can do whatever works for u. It's ur business and ur daycare. U need to do what works for u and ur family. I only take full time and say no to part time. If they want part time that's fine but they have to still pay all five days. Do u have a contract? If not make one up stating ur hours and days required. And state the fees that u require. It's then up to the parents to stay on board and comply or move on. If ur getting burnt out then replace them. Or charge more so it feels worth it. Do what works and makes u happy to enjoy ur job.
