  4. New Employee
  5. Juliana had an interview on Monday with Jennifer and her background is amazing. For the past 8 year she has been a pre-school teacher/teachers aid. Waiting to hear back from her background check. She will be a great addition to the youth department due to her knowledge of working with children and implementing programs.
  6. Raising Price
  7. Instead of raising prices, employee will have her hourly rate, but in addition get paid per head off of an additional child after the first one.
  8. Ex: If there are 3 kids in child care from 8:30-8:30, instead of just getting $12.50 for the hour, she will get $12.50 plus $2.00 per head for the other two kids. It’s an incentive to hire but to also the employee to do a great job.
