    Which Holidays Do You Close On?

    I'm trying to make my list of paid holidays for my contract and I am wondering what days are common to take off. Thank you!

    I am closed the following holidays:

    HOLIDAYS AND VACATIONS

     I WILL BE CLOSED THE FOLLOWING HOLIDAYS:

     New Years Day (or whatever day is celebrated if falls on a weekend day)
     Memorial Day
     July 4 th (or whatever day is celebrated if falls on a weekend day)
     Labor Day
     Thanksgiving and Friday after
     December 24, 25, 26. (Christmas week is subject to change depending on how many people need childcare that week).

     Payment is expected whether the child is here or not. Sick days, vacations, and holidays listed above are included. This includes Christmas week and Thanksgiving week. This applies to part time children also.

     For example—if your child is normally here Monday-Wednesday-Friday (3 days per week) and 1 of those days is a holiday, payment is expected for 3 days, should you choose to change your days for the week and bring your child Tuesday-Wednesday-Friday, payment would then be expected for 4 days.

    Another example—if your child is normally here 3 days per week and one of those days the child is sick, a parent takes a vacation day, or for some other reason does not come, payment is still expected for 3 days.

     I will take 3 weeks vacation through the year. Normally these are taken during the summer, but I reserve the right to take them as needed. There may be times where I will take the vacation days on a Friday or Monday to make a long weekend. I will give you my schedule by April 15 for summer weeks off. I will not charge for my 3 vacation weeks.

     There may be some years I choose to not take 3 weeks vacation off.

                I'm closed the following (all unpaid) but keep in mind I only care for one family & the mom is a teacher so she's off all these days also:

                Labor Day
                Turkey Day & the day after
                December 19 - January 3rd
                MLK Day
                President's Day
                Memorial Day
                4th of July
                One week in July for our family vacation

                Now if I started caring for someone else's kids this would not be so long, I'd likely only be closed on Dec. 24-25 & January 1st for the holiday season.
