I saw another post about days off and notice that a lot of people here have them paid (sooooo lucky!!) I didn't want to hijack the thread so I started my own.
I notice when providers get paid days off some have mentioned they try not to take so many. I myself get NO paid days off at all. Sick, vacation (which I never take) and holidays are all at no charge to the parents. My question is if none of your days off were paid would you take more off or not feel so bad about taking what you do? I usually take 10 days off for holidays and rarely close due to illness in the home. No vacations. I really would like to have more than a couple days off in a row this year and take my family somewhere special. Problem is I am feeling kinda guilty because my clients CLAIM they have no one else (in the past with other clients it had been proven lies so I wonder about the truth now) Would you feel bad taking more time off if the parents didn't have to pay for it or would that make a difference? How many days would you feel comfortable taking off if you were not paid for them?
