I have a mom who wants care for September for her daughter, who will be 12 months then. I told her that in that case she would have to pay a holding fee of $200/ month until care starts.
She is saying that she doesn't mind paying the deposit, but expects that it would be put towards care once she's started, since it's a lot of money. I'm not going 10 weeks without pay.
I have the fulltime spot available now, so that's alot of money I'm losing over those months.
