Take on family members as daycare clients?

[kidlove]

I take care of family and couldn't imagine not doing it, although some of you may think I am crazy....I give a "super sweet discount as well. (family before money for me). The one thing I do expect is that they follow my rules. I do expect 24 hour notice for sick days and they have to follow my contracts to the full. However....family gets a little leeway, they're family after all. I just couldn't imagine not making space for my niece and nephew...however, I also do not have either of them full time and given the circumstances (lesser pay) my sister and sister in law both understand that the full payers need to have a spot first...they both have flexible schedules so it works out for all. Can't say there hasn't been a little "trouble" from time to time,(with the sis in law, she can be a little difficult) but isn't there always a little trouble in families. We always work it out. It can get a little harry, def think hard before doing it, but it can be done. and sure is nice to develope a bond with your niece/nephew.
