I really need to find another client! I finally have been getting a few calls/e-mails
. One woman e-mailed me & she had PERFECT hours, nearly identical to the family I currently care for, basically 7:15-3:35. Dreamy hours
. Anwya, when I told her my rates she nicely responded that unfortunately she could not afford them
. So since I REALLY need to add some $$$ to our finances I responded that I may be able to help her out with the price if she could provide snacks/lunch for her kids & I could give her a slight discount. I have not heard back from her. It seems like the only calls I get lately are for 2nd shift & I DO NOT want to disrupt family time. But will I regret giving her a large discount in the long run?
Edited to add: Not a LARGE discount but I am considering giving a 30% discount for the 2nd child provided she brings all supplies for the toddler (still in diapers), snacks for the kids & lunches.
