What Do Your Families Do For Work?

[wdmmom]

I've seen on this forum and another I subscribe to that a lot of providers are off today.

Do you take today as a holiday? What do your families do that gives you the day off?

I work for a family that are both teachers (and school is in session today, so I work).

I work for a DCM that works for an insurance firm and DCD works for a large bank. They both had to work today. (Even though the actual branch of the bank is closed.)

Another DCM is a nurse and DCD is in sales. They both had to work today.

Another DCM works retail and DCD works for a postage company. They both worked today.

And my last family, DCM is a therapist and DCD works in the technical field. They both are working as well.

What do your families do for a living?

My clients currently are BOE, Public Safety, City Hall and Finance Industry.

It is winter break, here, all schools are closed for the entire week.

I stayed open so my clients can knock out their spring cleaning, spend special alone time with older (school aged) sibling, or get their taxes done. (at least that is where I was told they were ) I have everyones cell phone numbers and emergency contacts JIC.

I am open today, but only have one extra here, his mom is a casino employee, and dad a mechanic. My own dd (20mo), ds (7), and dd (16) are all here today too, as we don't have school.

My other parents are: casino employees, students, work with mentally challenged adults, nurses, and retail.

All my parents but one have the day off. I started taking the federal holidays off because my hubby and kids have it off.

Family 1: Tax preparer/electrician
Family 2: Tax preparer (same office)/auto mechanic
Family 3: Retail (single mom)

Family 1 has today off, but I have their precious girl. DCM 3 is working, but school is out, so I have her 2 boys. Family 2 never tells me what the schedule is, so who knows if dcb is coming today or not. :confused:

[christinaskids]

All of my parents have irregular schedules so they almost all off today but not because of the holiday.

Set 1: mom server/dad manufacturing supervisor
Set 2: mom works at bk/dad mechanic
Set 3: mom nurse/dad construction
Set 4: mom nurse aide, never met dad
Set 5: single mom who jumps around with jobs. Right now cleaning company and starbucks
Set 6: single mom retail
Set 7: single mom works with mentally disabled

It seems like there are a lot of people that work entry level jobs in my area and thr more educated or higher earners send their kids to centers

[PitterPatter]

Wow lots of clients!!!

I only have 2 clients. DCM is a student DCD on SSI doesn't work and the other DCM in sales. Both off today so I am off today. I have been trying to think of something to do with myself actually. I think I will take a nap. Just beacuse I CAN!

[saved4always]

I have:

teacher/city worker
teacher/bank
teacher/actually not sure what dad does...he has a job but I rarely see him

So...I have off today. I don't want kids on holidays so I don't even offer to work today. I don't charge when kids are not here, so parents are fine with it.

  Accounts Payable/Receivable dept. manager.
  
  Clerical office worker.
