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.
Also, it's what the law allows in my state (MN). Pretty shocking, isn't it? But it's the norm. I had no idea how terrible it would be. NEVER will I use a home daycare again. BTW, there were only 2-3 school age kids in the bunch, plus the provider's own children! Really absurd.
