Then that is the time to call on family and friends....

It has NOTHING to do with deserving a vacation, taking one because others get one too or with being paid a minimal amount for the long hours we work but it has EVERYTHING to do with the fact that as a small business owner I get to choose which services (and when) I offer and you as a parent get to choose whether or not you sign on with a provider that charges for her/his vacation time.

If you don't want to pay double, find a provider that doesn't charge for days she is closed or use a center that is open all year round.

I choose to charge a flat weekly rate 52 weeks a year.
My clients choose to agree to this before enrolling.

EVERYONE has a choice.

If you are double paying and not liking it, then it's YOUR issue to fix not your providers job to edit or alter her policies simply to meet YOUR needs.
