Overlap? No thanks!

All this talk about being a business but how would you HONESTLY feel if roles were reversed? How would you like to pay for a service but than not be allowed the service? On top of that, someone else gets to use the service and you're not reimbursed?

I really don't believe that most people would be okay with this.....

I agree with mickyc though, some clarification would be nice. Is it a weekly fee or a flat enrolment? If it is a weekly fee maybe it would be a good time to change the contract to flat enrolment fee to avoid confusion with future families and this would hopefully curb parents asking to switch days....which is what your original issue was, right?

33 Daiseys you make no sense just talk non stop its not okay for people to defend themselves but it's okay for you to make snear comments. As for three little monkeys get over it. Everyone runs there own business if you don't like it MOVE ALONG

Ottawamommy, this forum is for advice, opinions, help, support and guidance. She had a concern in her op and I just gave her a suggestion as to how too possibly avoid the same issue in the future.

Calm down.

If parents came on here to read....which I'm sure some do. I think they be appalled at what they are reading from caregivers who are suppose to be watching children, instead they are on here acting like its high school. Honestly crayola....you posted asking for advice/help as this form is for. You can't get mad for other posters giving their opinion on your stituation...that's what a form is. And everyone needs to stop attacking crayola and ottawamommy. Like I've said before everyone runs their business their way if it works for them then so be. I don't believe in the so called "double dipping" but if she wants to run it that way then she has a right to as its her business. Just like I run my business with running errands during the day with the kids. She doesn't believe in it but it's ok it's my business. Moral of my story is that I am actually sadden but this post. Yes most don't believe in the OP way of running things but we don't need to attack. We are adults raising children for the future...let's set an example. Beside life is way to short ladies. I do apologies to the OP if I came across as attacking you when I said how I felt. And I feel bad that you came on here for help and advice and ended up getting this. I hope you can figured out things are your end and that annoying parent stops switching days. Have a good wkend everyone.

Hello!
A little note to remind everyone to stay respectful and polite. To each his/her own opinion. You don't have to agree with everyone. There is no need to shout or be mad about it.

I have a family that comes 3 days a week. If families choose not to come all 5 days they still pay the weekly fee as I do not charge per day. I also have a wait list of client who like to come for occasional care if a spot opens up that someone may not be using. I ask for everyone's schedule 2 weeks in advance and I have a family who likes to switch days last minute but gets upset if I can't switch. I have had issues in the past with families "switching" days and this has prevented us by doing certain activities ex playgroup that had to be paid for ahead of time because the exact number of kids weren't accounted for.

My issue is I have occasional drop offs that come in the spot isn't being used but other parents get upset if they can't come or change days last minute.

But even this isn't legit. If I am paying for a full time space then you should be paying for my kids place in outings even if I don't come that day...because I pay for you to do so. It is a reward for you on the day I keep my kid home because I pay for the spot anyways.
