[quote=Anonymous]This is normal for the home daycares that I employed for my 2 kids. We paid for 2 weeks vacation, holidays, and personal days. Our providers were excellent and went over these in the contract that we reviewed before committing and signing. If you don't like the terms of your agreement, you either negotiate or go somewhere else. Most home daycare providers have a standard contract that stipulates all of this.

Also if your kid gets sick, they still get paid. Because your kid holds the spot at that daycare for the duration of your contract with them.

Now, there was an instance where we went out of the country for 6 weeks. Normally, our provider would have been paid for those weeks. But I spoke with her and negotiated down this payment, because of the long duration.

My advice is that if you want to work with the provider, and you have checked references and background and she is good, then agree to the contract terms. They are pretty standard. When you are with an experienced home daycare provider you need to establish a good relationship and communicate well with her, and they in turn will do the same.[/quote]
