Lately I reluctantly changed to a maximum 10hr day because I was having some trouble filling spots. But based on some families I've met with I decided it's not worth it. I am going back to 9hrs even if that means I will have to turn people away. May try 9.5hrs which is a compromise...If I could raise my rate and stay competitive I would do that and increase my max. I don't want to work more hours for the same pay :/

Interviewed one family who could comfortably do 730-430 but once I mentioned 10hr max she mentioned some days could be 530 pickup. That annoyed me but if you give them the time people will use it.

I envy the hours a lot of you keep.
