CHildminder Time off

[vik3000]

Does anyone here charge for their time off/sickness? How much do you charge and what do parents think about it?


Really interested to know about this one.

I charge 1/2 of fees for my holidays and no fee for my sickness. My parents are happy with this.

I have my son going in to hospital soon for an operation so have decided to not charge the parents for those 2 days.

i charge full fees if child is off for any reason and don't usually charge for my hols but two of my families pay in advance and one has said don't worry about it she'll use me for a couple of extra hours a week and the other made no comment about it whatso ever so i don't know whether she even reallises i 've been paid for time off.
now should i be honest and deduct it from next month or not?

I charge full fee for my holiday (4 weeks a year) and full fee for theirs, they dont seem to mind. I dont charge if I am sick or cannot offer the service at short notice for any reason. Since the pay in advance I make a refund if I owe them anything for this. All CM seem to charge for hols round here .

I think that as long as you are competitive in your area, you are unlikely to put parents off choosing you over someone else.
