Does Anyone Else?

I say that as new clients come in, they pay for a slot.


I am not military, and there is no longer a base within 1+ hours of me, so I don't deal with this issue. If someone with a varying schedule wants to enroll, they pay for the slot like everyone else. That may seem harsh, but I can't have sporadic income as I have a family to support and couldn't get by on it!

I think that's certainly fair!

I charge for the spot. I am an excellent provider and my families know it.

This may be a little harsh but if you cannot afford childcare, dont have children, or choose to stay home with them. I do not have a problem replacing children and recently termed a mom with 6 children (i watched her 1yo twins) bc she wanted to take off spring break and not pay and was going to let her other children watch them. Well, too bad, i had them replaced the next day.

My bills do not depend on the parents income it depends on mine.

I have a parent that has been with me almost a year and for the past month has been paying for full time care and only bringing her child two days a week because she cannot afford the gas to bring him every day.

Im not trying to be ugly but i cannot afford to live off of evey parents whims to bring their child to care or not. It is stated in my policies and thats that.

Please don't take offense, but that pay is significantly more than what me make and on par or more (in some cases much more) than what most of what my families make (and even with the benefits and taxes removed). In other words, I definitely think they can afford a weekly salary . Just my humble opinion .

I try to not concern myself with what people make. As long as I charge what I need to for our expenses and bills and the parents pay on time, that's all I care about.

Good luck!
