- We have always paid our babysitters a weekly salary, every week.
- This means weeks that include legal holidays, and weeks that include
- vacation. My feeling is that my husband and I get paid 52 weeks a
- year, with about 2 weeks of vacation time, and our childcare providers
- deserve the same. Exactly when the vacation days are is decided
- by mutual consent--so far we have never had a problem with someone
- who wanted too much time off, or insisted on vacation at times that
- were inconvenient for us.
