My hours are from 7 - 5:30.

BUT, I have one that only comes 2 or 3 days a week and in order to not lose her, I work around the parents schedule. This week I had her for 3 1/2 hrs on Monday. Nothing T or W. Dad called last night and asked for 6AM to 7:45 PM as he had to work a double last night. Mom texted at 6:45AM that she overslept so they were staying home. She is in nursing school and not allowed to show up late. Mom is off on F, so they don't come. This child never comes if Mom or Dad are home. Parents pay full rate.

I have 2 Mom's that get off at 5:30, so I allow them a 15 minute window and then start charging $1 a minute. No one else is allowed to be late.

I would love to change my hours to 5 PM closing, but it won't work in this area.
