I was thinking if I do get a assistant to just have them come in the morning for like 3 hours. Then when I need them for appts./days off/etc. have them come in for that.

My thinking was paying them about a full time slot which here is about $500.00. I'm not sure though as that is a hit to my pocket book. I'm also going to talk to our tax preparer about all this and see what they say.

I was also thinking that I may change my rates around to cover an assistant. If the parents where to complain then I would say, I've had to bring in an assistant to cover sick days/time off because for some of you it was hard when I need it. Put it back on them of why I'm having to do this.
