I’ve been running my home daycare for 5 years now and have never raised my daily rate($30 - day) after talking to other daycare providers in the area, they are all charging 5 dollars more an hour than me AND they don’t include lunch (which I do). I feel like I need to make a change but I’m feeling really nervous about raising my rate by 5 dollars a day (works out to $100 extra a month). I was thinking about just raising it $2.50 a day and then any new families that start in the future I can charge $35. What do you think? Would you be mad as a parent if this happened? All families I have now have been with me for 1.5-2 years.
I actually sent out the email about it last Friday that I was raising the rate come September and nobody said anything about it!!! I’m pretty happy about that! How do you like the Nanny who helps with your little guy?
We have a nanny/home nurse so I can’t comment as ours is funded because JJ has special needs and requires this care. I can say as a parent though if they see the value of what your providing etc they shouldn’t be upset. Your providing lunch for less then the going rate around you.
@brynsmommie But you could still do that now instead of making a big jump. One of the perks if being in your daycare for them is probably the price
@lynzie.judd, that’s amazing to hear you would do anything to keep your daughter in a good daycare!
@mommy1991, each set of parents have good paying jobs, I am just scared to upset anyone that’s been with me for years....I guess I should’ve gradually raised every year
I can't afford that currently but if you were a good day care I'd go without my phone (that I rarely use unless my daughter is asleep) so she could keel going
Ya that’s a tough call, maybe some parents chose you to provide the care because they can’t afford that extra 100 bucks a month?
Most home Daycare’s where I am are between 40 and 50 a day.
It depends. If you know some of the families are low on funds and that don't have the extra 100 you might be doing them a diservice
I don’t think it would be an issue if u raised it.
I wouldn’t be mad. As long as I was happy with the service being provided I wouldn’t have an issue paying more!
I don't have a baby boy. I would like to know personally how do you moms feel about people treating there sons like girls as in taking them to nail salons and getting pampered ect.... I think it's important for ladies to remember your not raising a little boy. At the end of the day your raising a man. If I have a son I just want to raise him to be the best man he can be. I won't treat him to the same things I would my daughter and vice versa.😕
Do you really think the way you are raised
Has no impact on when and how you decide to have sex? I read a comment on another thread that really rubbed me the wrong way. Something about how teens have sex and there's just no stopping it no matter how you raise them.
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
I gotta question could I be pregnant and have 2 1/2 day period because I think i got pregnant on Nov 26 and had implantation bleeding on Dec 11 because I'm usually on my period for at least 4 days but mostly 5 or 6 which my full period was Nov 11 for 5 days ?? but in dec only 2 1/2 days it's kinda confusing really im excited about my Dr visit feb19 to know for sure :)
