I've been doing drop-in care for a family with no contract (a mistake I won't make again!), and they have an outstanding credit right now. DCB was scheduled to come in one day, but Gramma ended up watching him instead. I had been prepaid for that day, and dc mom called to tell me about Gramma and to ask if she could put her remaining credit (one day's worth) towards another day. After realizing what I had done to myself, I said yes, since we didn't have a contract that said otherwise, I would give her another day's worth of care to make up for it.
It's been a few weeks now, and I've since filled in my drop-in spots with permanent part-timers. I emailed dc mom to let her know that the spots were taken but that I could still take her LO if someone was sick.
Here's the thing though -- they're moving quite soon, and I'd rather be done with the outstanding credit. I hate having it hanging over my head like this. There is very little chance that someone will be sick on a day that dc mom can use at the last minute (my dc kids are pretty healthy and sick days are actually pretty few and far between).
Should I just give her the $30 and be done with it? Or should I just let it go and let her keep calling every couple of days to find out if anyone is sick, with the possibility of her moving without ever using up her credit?
