I am a day care provider
most day care here in BC Can do have paid holidays, sick days ex....and I used to follow that myself
though I did take pay for sick days but never used them , had subsitute, and didnt take holidays which i never ask for pay then , and had a monthly rate and that was where the pay for BC hlidays came in
over time I realized where I live full time work wasnt always there for clients, scheduals changed, lots of part time kids in my care
so I made changes too
I never get paid well for any of these days now and charge only daily rates no matter full time or part time and my contract states this
I also have no security in this biss and have no medical benifits, holiday pay EI insurance ex.......so it is a scarey biss of self emplyment
and I have be ripped off
so some who charge for these days get a sence of security that many working parents have
