So, its set . . . we're going to have another. . . (giggles)
A few of my parents know that we were thinking of this (we had gone back and forth on it considering my husband rarely works in the winter) and my parents asked about my plan.
I am considering what I think is a great one but I anted to know if anyone else had done this or what you have done - if anything - for you parents to ensure they have care and - more importantly - to ensure that would resume care after your leave
My thought was to get someone else to take over my daycare and pay them a fraction of my salary. I would pay more if they used their house, less if a parent offered their home, and even less if I ended up having to use my home still.
I was thinking to pay them about $3 per hour, per kid, per day (cash, I'll pay the taxes as if it were my income)
I would buy the kids snacks and milk still
and give her my house cleaner as well and pay for it
She would get my stroller, toys, curriculum, and everything she needs to do the job
My question is:
what do you think of that?
how much time did you guys take off?
did you put another plan into action?
what was your return rate for clients after your leave?
THANKS!
