Hours & Income
Our business model offers Educators to set their own fees and hours, so the amount you earn depends on the hours you work and the hourly rate you set.
With the various types of care available under the Family Day Care Service (including extended hours, overnight, weekend, and 24 hour care for emergency or special circumstances) you are welcome to choose any types of care and hours that suit your schedule and family lifestyle, in the end it is your business. You are able to choose how many, and the ages of children (ranging from 6 weeks to 13 years old), you would like to care for, however, government legislation determines the number of children in care at any given time. Rest assured that Our Upendo Diversity Australia Family Day Care Coordinators are here to help.
Preparation
All houses are unique in their own way and we will assess accordingly to meet the safety standard. With this, there may be some costs associated with making the home safe e.g. fencing, repairs, child safe locks and other necessary expenses.
Ultimately, a Family Day Care Educator’s home must be warm, welcoming and have sufficient space for children to play indoor and outdoor.
