That would be great if I had a daily rate! She pays the same regardless of presence M-F so it doesn't affect her any. I do FT only except a PT rate for before/after school that is the same rate no matter what whether it's only before school care, after, or both and no matter what day. That's why she's fine with wasting my time and resources to schedule a day of care she really doesn't need. She just literally has to show up on time to pick her kid up. She could easily do that at the school and if she's only a few mins late here or there she wouldn't have to worry because she'd be at school with teachers. I wish she wouldn't argue with me about just pickin her kid up form school unless otherwise scheduled.
