I'm not saying don't deserve a vacation. I'm saying that most business owners don't expect me to pay for it.
Wow 12 kids.

If she had twelve kids at that rate it would only be thirty dollars an hour before expenses. That's not enough money to pay someone to care for that many kids. That's a VERY low salary for that amount of work.

The parents should definitely pay for a lot of vacation time for someone who is capable of doing that well. She's getting such a low amount of money before expenses.

Where in the world do you live that allows twelve kids to be with one adult at a time. I assume that most of these kids were either school aged kids or part time kids. Surely you wouldn't allow your child to be in a home with twelve kids under the age of five full time. It wouldn't be safe no matter who was doing it.
