I am in Ontario. My daily rate is $35/day. Its in my contract that I am supposed to be paid for all stats but my families ignore that and most of them don't pay. As for vacation time, they don't pay for any days off that I take and they are allowed to take 10 days unpaid vacation time per year. Everyone tells me that I'm too nice and give them too much time off without having to pay. When I do my contracts up again I will be making some changes and not giving so much time off without paying though as its really hard to keep making ends meet with 5 families all taking so much time off. Hope that helps
