I have a mom going on mat leave and have offered this....once she gives me her start and end dates of mat leave I will post the spot as a term position. If I can find a family that only wants a spot for the year than current mom won't pay anything. If I can't fill the spot than mom has the option of sending the child and paying full rate or keeping the child at home and paying the holiday fee. Either way, it doesn't matter to me as I will either have my full payment(with term postion) or less workload(with mom paying holiday fee).
