Hi Lisa, to be honest with you I dont know if I could take a day off because like you said parents depend on us and it feels wrong unless you have something that requiry your immediate attention or an emergency. I started Child Care last July and never taken a day off for personal reasons.
I guess it all depends on your life schedule and how you want to handle your daycare bussiness.
I know many of us mentioned it on their contract because we should be entitled for days off but this is my personal view.
