Then when they dont show up she takes that money of off next months pay.
No kidding is daycare expensive! But it isn't like you are rolling in the dough by being a child care provider. I would tell her that good quality child care is not expensive....it is priceless!
Why are you allowing her to TELL you what her rates will be? I would never ever allow a client to dictate to me what my rates are or should be.... you need to stop allowing that to happen. I would tell her that she is not paying for his space, she is paying for the availability. I would also tell her you do not offer care on an hourly basis (unless you do). Don't allow a client to run you business.
