    mickyc, wow - I don't know how you do it! I know I certainly couldn't! Why should you take a pay cut because someone else is on vacation?? Seems a bit off balance to me. :(

    Why or why not?

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
Updates
We expect providers to keep their listing and available openings up-to-date. However, to prevent oversights, openings expire after 45 days.
