I have only had about 4 enquiries so far and TWO of them have asked if my prices are negotiable.
Full time care in my area is between $35.00-40.00/day. I'm charging $40.00 because I only buy organic meat/dairy/soy and corn products and MOST of our fruits and veggies. It's expensive, but it's what I feed my kids so that's what everyone will eat. I know some parents don't appreciate this, and I get that but then pick another provider for crying out loud. I'm not selling bongs at a booth in the Flea Market for the love of God!
So frustrating that parents are trying to get blood from a stone when it comes to someone who is going to be providing care for their children!!! A 10 month old no less.
Is this very common?
People that are motivated by price are not loking for quality care there looking for cheap daycare. Hot dogs and alphagetties... sorry if I have offended anyone but thats the bottom line in my opinion!
Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
