Reasonable amount of days to close/year due to sickness

[apples and bananas]

I take time off if I'm too sick to care for children safetly. If that's one day a year or if that's 10 days a year, I take what I need. I don't charge clients when I'm closed. The safety and well being of the kids are my number one concern and if something is going on in my home that compromises that ... I close.

This is part of a home daycare. No backup. I only take on clients that have secure backup... a relative... etc.

I don't put sick days in my contract. All it says is that I take them when I need them. I give as much notice as humanly possible and I don't charge for them.

I put 5 personal days in my contract and I rarely take all 5 of them. But I give 30 days notice on those.
