well most cleaning services I know would set a rate , plus the mile you drive to the person home . that would give you more pay . but i would just sit down and talk to your friend that your working with and talk to her , ask  or talk about the rate your being pay and see if they can do something about gas .  that should be included i think . just ask really nice.   does not hurt to ask ..

If you do not want to do it then simply kindly say no. As a friend don't do anything you truly do not want to do.

Gas has never been included when I have had cleaners.  Just be honest with her.

If I understand correctly, your friend runs a cleaning service and pays her workers $10 an hour.
What she charges has nothing to do with what she pays her workers. If you don't want the job, don't take it.

Your friend is paying you $10.00 an hour at her housekeeping company to help her out. And it sounds like you are not happy with the terms. If taking this job is going to hurt your friendship due to the pay, then it may be better for you to say "no" to the job and keep your friendship.

If you are not happy making $10 an hour, then just say no. If she is a true friend, she will understand.
I used to help my father out on a cleaning job. He cleared $75 a week for the cleaning and paid me $50. The job took 1-2 hours depending on the mess. He made $25 a week to do nothing. I was ok with that because he had to pay taxes, etc. Your friend probably has overhead as well if it is a business.

                 Taking the job and accepting the cleaning company criteria,usually means you agree with what the amount u are being paid pr hr, and the detailed description of each day needed clean and what type of clean you will follow, Mind me if I am not correct I understand cleaning jobs can be physicl and time consuming, and its a uneasy feeling  if your being under paid for the type of cleaner you are, A friend pregnant or not woulod and should be able to be fair and reasonable to be able to discuss the pay rate change on those days you do go over and drive time, Good luck and best wishes.

I think you need to re-negotiate the pay with your friend...your time is important...

Even if your friend was really sick I don't think you should keep silent because you don't know if in the future something similar will happen again! Clear the air for you & you're friend's sake.
