I live in Michigan and I have a few questions:
I have been working in a day care for 2 1/2 years. We have 12 children and licensed for them. I have all my training hours including my CPR/first aid. I work from 9 to 4 - 5:30p, 5 days a week (when needed)
My question is: What is the average pay that you pay your assistants? When there is a fill in, they are paid the same as I am and do not do as much work as I do. When you close for the holidays, do you compensate your assistant? Is there any compensation for the day that she's called in the a.m. and told she isn't needed that day?
I understand that a day care provider depends on this income.... and the parents pay for sick days/ holidays no matter what. I depend on this money too...
