Wondering how many people have paid vacation days in their contract? I have 10 vacation days total for each year. 5 are paid and 5 are unpaid. I've heard from a few people lately that paid vacation days for providers is too much to ask... But I've never had a problem with my daycare families. Am I being unreasonable by asking for paid vacation?

I take 2 weeks paid, 3 personal days paid and 10 paid holidays. I get paid 52 weeks per year and I've never had a problem!
I'm actually debating going to 5 paid personal days for the upcoming year

Great to hear. All of my holidays are paid as well. I did not think I was being unreasonable, but when other people start talking I start to wonder!Comment

No, you're not unreasonable. I take one paid vacation week annually, 8 paid holidays, and reserve the option for 2 paid professional days for out of town trainings. We need our "me" days just like the parents do!Comment

I think it's Time to revamp my handbook! I take 10 holidays and two weeks of vacation but they're unpaid. Maybe I should have them start paying !?Comment

I do the same as you. I also give my families one unpaid vacation per year, equal to the number of days that they are contracted for, plus I get paid holidays and 5 personal days per year. For both parties, they must be used and cannot roll over. I haven't had any problems with this yet.Comment

I'm wondering how you get your parents to agree to that? Mine dont want to pay when their child is out sick...I really need to redo my policies...Comment

I don't require payment for vacation days, but I do close for them... for the most part. If a parent is working a holiday (as some do) and needs me.. I will be more than happy to charge them for it. I also explain to them that if my family was planning on going somewhere that day, their child will be going too. I'm not changing my plans, just taking more people. I don't really take paid personal days, but will close if I need to. My "me" time is the same as it used to be when I worked outside the home. I get 2 days a week. Saturday and Sunday.Chief cook, bottle washer & spider killer...Comment

I take 13 paid holidays, 1 week paid vacation and 2 weeks unpaid vacation split between two summer breaks and Christmas.Comment

I take 2 weeks unpaid in the summer, one week between Dec. 24-Jan 1 paid, and I allow myself 6 paid sick or personal days per year. So far I haven't had a vacation in the summer or used any sick or personal days because I am still relatively new to full time child care. I can't wait for that week at Christmas.
