[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]17:16 -- that's great for them, but does anybody else get three days off for the 4th?  I certainly don't.  [/quote]

if parents are entitled to vacation time, what makes you think a daycare provider isnt? if it just so happens to fall during the 4th of july weekend, what of it? Lucky that she has notified this early, she could wait til the time came and then announce it!

[b] if someone had an issue with my taking 4 weeks off i would tell them find someone else.[/b] I have personally known providers who never took time off. one was state licensed who pushed her limitations as far as what she could handle. She burned out so bad with the daycare she lost her license and is no longer allowed to do daycare (at least through the state) in virginia anymore.  A parent who had her son with that provider also had her younger daughter with me (the other provider didnt have space for the daughter nor did I for the son at that time). The mom told me she was happy knowing I took time off for *mental breaks* because the other provider was wearing herself out. Makes for a big difference. I dont think a lot of parents realize what it is like to be around 3-5 little ones 10 hours a day, sometimes 12. Heck, some parents cannot even handle their ONE child alone for a couple hours. Have respect for the providers

Wow - I certainly don't get four weeks of vacation a year, and I imagine a lot of other people are in a similar situation. You are certainly entitled to time off, but four weeks seems extreme. I also have to say that your attitude is a big part of why I didn't even consider home daycares for my child. [/quote]

thats the best part of having your own business. You make the rules. My clients do not complain as they are informed well in advance and I work with them in other ways to make up for lost times if necessary.  I also have to say, I wouldnt want most of the parents I see posting in here as my clients for many reasons. Too many people quick to assume and slamming in homeproviders. One of the reasons I refuse to advertise my daycare on here. Would want you all in my hoe. I only care for kids from normal families

You all have a great day now. I am off[/quote]
