Should I charge for this whole day or not?

Mindee is going to a party next Tuesday, 10am till 11.30. She's normally with me for the whole day that day. Mum wants to take mindee and has arranged for the day off.
However, she wants to drop mindee with me at 8am as usual, pick her up at 9.55 to go to party ,then drop her off again just after 11.30. She said to me when she was telling me the arrangments "I don't expect you to bill me for the 1.5 hours she won't be here"
So would you charge?

Yes, I'd charge. You're contracted for the hours, she pays for the hours.

PaulaMummyKnowsBest · 14/06/2011 18:58

you are still available during that time so of course you would charge
