Assistants
what can you guys tell me about assistants?
What do you do if your assistant calls in? :confused: where do you find subs in your area? |

I have thought about that too how would you do that?
one 2 days a week and one 3 days a week or both split the day, like 5 or six hours a day? |
I've had two assistants at different times & both of them were wonderful. One helped me out during the summer time when I had a really full group & the other helped me during pregnancy when I was very weak. I've never had more children enrolled at one time than what I can legally have by myself so if they did call in we were still ok legally. I've had to cancel appts due to calling off once or twice though. I hired people that I knew personally or who came highly recommended from someone who I trust. I wouldn't put up with very many call offs b/c I wouldn't feel able to rely on the person. I don't know about finding subs. Do you have a local childcare resource that you could call for referrals?

Awesome! thank you! idk why they would have told me we don't have one.
Ill check that out hopefully it links to some subs in the area. Yea i know of a lot of childcare providers I've worked with in actual centers in the area that may eventually go be SAHMs and be able to sub for me but there are only maybe 3 home daycares in my county, which i know the providers of and they don't need subs so didnt have any ideas for me. |
