Why should YOU negotiate?? Seriously?? Why is it always US, the providers, who are supposed to get the short end of the stick??

This is CHILD care.....really, do you really want to haggle with the person who CARES FOR YOUR CHILD??? That always astounds me to levels I can not even articulate.

My other thought is this...........if a parent is working an 11 hour day then they certainly are earning a salary that warrants an eleven hour day. So WHY should YOU not earn a salary that warrants an 11 hour day too??

CONTRACTS ARE NOT NEGOTIABLE. PERIOD.
