    So she wants you to join up with an agency???? So she gets subsidy? I dont think there is any benefit to you join an agency, only for her!

    I am with you on this one. To join an agency is to get her a subsidy spot.

    Privately, in my area South Keys/Greenboro, Ottawa , B/A is $15 average.

    If you have an agency, your agency will only pay you $11.50 per child.

    I got a call from a mother of 8 years old, asking for B/A. She ask if i have subsidy spot, I said NO. And I said, I won't get one anytime soon. For me, $11.50 is not enough for early morning drop off and good amount of snacks serve in the afternoon.

    In this case, the girls will be fine, it is the mother that I will be worried about.

    If she still commit with you privately, make sure you ask for deposit or at least ask for advance payment, every Monday before start of care.

    Recently, I got burned from a mother who was demanding type, did not pay deposit (it's okay - we are neighbors). She got into fights with hubby, decided to move her child to another caregiver which her hubby can't visit the baby. Guess what? the 2 weeks of work and when I ask for payment as she pick up the leftover diaper, she said "no money, no postdated check", not even a thank you card.

    Just be careful, we are all of good hearts, but please ask for advance payment or deposit.
