I take the kids on outings almost every Day. I love my Job but it is not considered a real Job to 90 percent of this world. We Day care providers have no medical or dental insurance and no hospitalization coverage. We have no Coffee Breaks lunch hours sick Days personal Days unemployment pay disability pay or pension plans. We get few holidays off and we Are taxed but have no retirement plan and no profit sharing. Grandma or grandpa shows up every month on a Days notice for the kids which Means i am not needed and i lose a Days pay. If my employer decides to take a Friday off i am not needed. There goes another Days pay. I have a family Ann. I believe that if they take a Day off or grandma wants the kids i should still get paid for that Day.
