[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you should be paid for the entire time since you need to be available but are you sure you can't take other jobs?  Maybe for those two days take clients that allow you to drive with the kids?[/quote]

That’s not the issue.

Okay, I’ve picked up kids that are throwing up.  What am I supposed to do with the healthy kids?  I’ve picked up a child who got a concussion or broke a bone (school just thought it was a bone bruise, but it was a hairline fracture), and depending on the situation, I either go straight to the ER or I call the doctor for an immediate appointment.  Either way, there’s no room for the other kids.  I’ve also picked up a child whose medicine isn’t working correctly or who is misbehaving; in that situation, it’s possible that other kids wouldn’t even be safe with the child I picked up.

Of course I can drive other kids.  Of course I would love to pick up a different family during that time.  But I’m paid to be available for all scenarios, including weather, healthier and behavior.  And I don’t double dip, or I’d find myself without either position![/quote]
