We also run the risk of losing more $$ by giving more than a 2 week notice as well because they typically pull the child asap afterward. Which will most likely be the case here. As I attempted to give the notice I was told they were taking 2 weeks off at the months end. (Nice notice to me right?)Well I feel better knowing at least! Next week will probably be the last.
This is why I charge a two week deposit up front that is applied to the last two weeks of care. This way if they leave I have already been paid!
