    Momof4, you were only charging a deposit and only 1 week pay to hold the fees? Is this right (just want to make sure I'm reading that correct )? So if you held a space for 4 months, that's over $2000 of income you would be out until they start. See, charging a piddley $200/month is nothing in the big picture but at least it's something...you would still make $800 and not be out as much. You're still out a lot considering but at least it's something right? It also makes parents stay put. If you hold a space for say 4 months and then they call you 3.5 months in and say "ya, we decided to stay home with our children or we found a place closer to us/cheaper"...or whatever their reason, then you really are out a crap load of money AND now have to interview again to try and fill the space that you had been holding for the last 3.5 months and you could potentially be out more money if you don't find anyone right away, kwim? Making the parents invest a little more money makes them generally want to stay so the money isn't "wasted".
