One last daycare question?

[lesliepear]

Does your daycare enforce a late fee? If so how much is it?

I think the rules we got said 10.00 a minute. But if it is a horrible night out do they insist on it, or can they waive it?

Yes, my daycare enforces a late fee, but I think it's $5 for every 15 minutes [it's got a sliding scale, and therefore standard fees tend to be really low]. They really don't have much problem with late parents, though.

I definitely would recommend keeping your other sitter as a backup. What are you going to do when he's sick and you NEED a babysitter?

My mother in law can sit - she lives 15 minutes away (she did it one day when Nadia had a funeral to go to). But she couldn't do it daily. I'm sure she could take him if he's mildly sick, or I'd have to take off.

I don't work for a family friendly company so we don't have emergency backup care or any nice benefits like that - or work from home :(
