Hi, i have been watching children and have had a close group for about 5 years and now its time for some family's to move on. I am having a hard time finding the right age groups and only the age i cant have keep messaging me. I am getting down to the wirier and if i don't find some new kids I will not have a income next month.
I am feeling hopless and would like to know experiences you may have had with something like this or similur ? As well as i have found one parent who had paid me the deposit which i cashed and my contract stats i also need months payment with deposit only because i have had multiply people needing care and wanting to have a safety net in case. But when she came she only gave me the one check am i asking to much to pay me now rather then the first of next month? It's only cause shes new and i need some guaranteed of some kind i will be paid. Any help with dealing with parent about payment super early because i have no money or is it to much and i should expect her to pay the first day of care? With a new contract? And what can i do to be more secure finanically when childcare contract ends and you find replacments.
