Teacher fees

[babydom]

What ur fees for other parents is not her business.

U say this is your fee. Xx$ Per day. It's a few dollars more then my normal daily fee to compensate for the two Summer mths that you will be off and I will be without pay.

Period. Move on if she is being to difficult!

I don't understand what her issue is. You told her the fee and she was agreeable to it, it shouldn't matter what others are paying.

Thank you again, I don't understand either I think in this case is that she is looking for a special cheaper daily rate she loved my place and she she said it she was happy to found me so in this case money shouldn't matter in just an extra bucks still a good deal compare to centers, I hope I hear from her today or then I have to move on this is stressing me out!
Thanks

I had 2 teachers and it can be a headache when it comes to their summer off -one took the summer off without paying and came back in Sept as I did not fill the spot which suited me to have fewer kids in the summer and the other paid for part-time in the summer

but this client is being difficult before she starts .........move on to next one

I have one family who just started on September and by searching the job, I found out the mom works in a school setting so not sure if she is a teacher, she never mention it and I didn't bother asking, anyway I gave her the regular fee rate for non teacher, so next year on July and August what should I do, it always confuse me regarding teachers. What should I charge for July and August 2017 if she stays until then. thank you for your input and I don't have specific policy for teachers on my agreement.

Can you clarify to us what your "regular teacher rate" is versus just your "regular rate"? Not just the fact that there may be a difference in fee, but the theory behind charging teachers and non-teacher a different rate. I'm just trying to understand where you are coming from so I can answer your question more accurately. Thanks

For now be happy you have filled the spot and don;t worry about next summer yet as she may be happy to keep the child in daycare for next summer but you could also talk to her about it in April 2017 so you know where you stand and still have time to find a new client if needed.

I only have one fee. It doesn't matter to me if you're a teacher, Doctor, waitress or superman....only one fee. I charge for the space and if they don't want to use it in the summer (or whenever) that's fine but they will still need to pay to secure their spot.

I'm not sure if it's like this everywhere (but I assume so) but teachers get paid 12 months just like everyone else. They may get paid 10 months out of the year but it's still the salary for 12. It's up to them to budget for summer.

Yes I only have 1 rate too regardless of their occupation. If they don't need care for summer and I can fill the spot with another child in care's sibling then I will and they don't pay but if not they pay for the spot all summer.

I currently have a EA parent. Her child is away on any school closure days but still pays for them. I have an older sibling of a different child that comes those days and they pay for those days so I get double pay on those days. During summer the EA gets July/Aug with no fees as the older sibling attends. Both families understand that if the situation changes that I can no longer offer this deal. They are both families I have had for 4 years.
