[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would just be frank with her and let her know that the day is open to anyone until someone actually books it and it's on the calendar and if she wants to reserve the time it needs to be paid. Last minute cancellations are one thing, and I'd address that as well...one or two freebies and that's it. [/quote]

The thing is that she doesn't think of it as canceling when she doesn't need me on a day that i typically work for her, but she doew seem to feel that I am canceling when I book something else on a day she hasn't yet schedule me to work.

It sounds like I need to address this, but I am unsure how to phrase it, given that I am essentially negotiating a new benefit (guaranteed pay)--or at least I think that's how she will regard it.  I have never had to renegotiate a contract before as I have always been very thorough in my contract up front.  Even with this family, if she would commit to scheduling me in advance, I'd be fine to schedule around her, because she does actually notice and try to be considerate when canceling hours that she has actually scheduled, but not when she just doesn't need me on a usual day (which I don't find out until a week or two before).[/quote]
