It is a crazy start to a new school year. I watch mostly teachers kids, and I should mention I don’t charge for summers. This is the first full week back and the kids are dropping like flies, with two new call outs today 6/9 of my daycare kiddos are sick with croup. I’ve decided to close tomorrow to deep clean and give the daycare (which is the basement of my home) 3 full days to clear out.
Of course I have to have that one parent, so do we have to pay for tomorrow? It took all I had to be respectful in my reply. Yes, I will be working tomorrow. Cleaning every single toy and every single surface. What I really wanted to say is “you pay me $22 a day, if I tell everyone to not pay I’m missing out on a full day of pay. When I’m actually working hard to make sure to kill these germs. I understand your kid hasn’t gotten it yet, but for those that have. They have been out four days already! So I can clean and we can cross our fingers that your son hasn’t gotten and you’ll be out an entire week too” grrr, when they make it all about money, I feel so under appreciated.

... This is part of why I pay extra for my Benefect disinfectant; spray it on ,no wiping needed. Spendy but very worth it sometimes
