Help with additional policy wording for 2013 contract

You may also find that your parents would rather pay an extra dollar a day which is only $5 a week for the privilege of knowing you are always going to be there and not suddenly taking a personal day just because you can leaving them scrambling for care. $5 a week won't seem like a lot to them I wouldn't think. The fact you are saying the paid time off isn't the norm for your area and your parents are expecting a raise in rates then I would probably just go with the raise in rates even if it was a total of $1 a week which is still $52 a year per child more.

What you may find is that while you are at the highest level now, other caregivers will be looking at the rates in the area and probably start putting their rates up to match for incoming clients so over the course of the year you will become equal to or lower than the norm but be left trying to argue with parents about the paid time off when it might have just been better to add the extra $ in fees.
