If you have a contract it´s depends what you have in it.
Usually if the Childminder is sick it´s an unpaid day unfortunately.
Unless the family are sound and just pay you anyway

The way I work, if I need to take an unplanned day off I don’t expect to get paid but if a child doesn’t come for a day that they should have been with me I still get paid.

If you have a contract, it depends on its terms. Usually, if the childminder is sick, it’s an unpaid day, unfortunately. Unless the family is kind enough to pay you regardless.

It´s important to have a clear illness policy in place for a childminder in their own home. As for the question about a mother taking a day off, it would depend on the specific terms of your arrangement with the childminder. Thank you for bringing up these important considerations.
