This. I get a $100 non-refundable deposit in June for September. I only take on one teacher family at a time right now, but as my kids become school age, I may want ALL teachers children so I can have summers and school breaks off.
The lighter load in the summer works well since we camp a lot. My dc families vacation a LOT in the summer and I get a lot of paid days off.
