Paying for a child's sick day

[samantha3]

I hate to say it but she is trying to walk all over you for something she clearly signed up for. If she does not pay you today for all of the days (including the ill days) you should terminate her and start fresh with a new family. What else will she try and get away with in the future?

Good luck!!

She did end up paying for all days, no questions or comments.

Whoot Whoot - gotta love when we worry for nothing - glad she learned from the last encounter and chose to follow the contract

No refund here. I have had children away for a week at a time and they still all paid me. I am open so therefore being paid. If I close due to illness then that is different.

At interview I tell parent that your child's sick days must be paid. I have my responsibilities financially and still must make mortgage payments whether you come or not. Most people understand and those that don't can find care elsewhere and take advantage of someone else
