I am fortunate to have parents who do want to spend AWAKE time with their children and many work very close to my home so this has not been an issue.

However, I once took on a child and all was well and good in the first year. Then the parents hit a rough spot and separated. Suddenly, the child went from 8 hours in care to 10.5 hours in care bc the parents were no longer working as a team. Since then, I revised my contract to reflect that longer hours in care = a higher weekly rate. I don't say anything, I just make a mental note of it and charge them a MUCH higher rate than a typical family here pays.
