[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would just charge a flat on call rate and you want to suggest to parents for future to have a safety network of neighbors and other parents for emergencies. Even when parents in town there are times when they are not reachable and schools usually require another contact in case of emergency. [/quote]

This is precisely why I’m the emergency contact for school and why I have written authorization on me at all times and already filed with the doctor, dentist and preferred hospital, so that I can start any necessary treatment without waiting for parental consent first.  This is exactly what parents who travel a lot do.  They know anything can happen, and it’s usually at the most inconvenient time for them (meeting with all phones off, in the air without phone service, on the ground in another state).  My employers know that I will update as the situation progresses, but if there’s no way to get there and things need to start ASAP, they don’t want to scramble for care.  So, yes, I’m paid a very generous salary, but it guarantees that I’m available to cover any overnights that neither parent is available as well as covering all the things that can happen during the day.  They get the benefit of my working on play dates, the schedule, the calendar, organizing closets, doing laundry, grocery shopping, etc.  It doesn’t take the whole time, but enough.[/quote]
